Conditions

Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of ALN-PCSSC in participants with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.

Interventions

ALN-PCSSC is a small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) that inhibits PCSK9 synthesis and is given as SC injections.

DRUGStandard of Care

Included maximally-tolerated statin therapy and/or other low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C)-lowering therapies.

Inclusion criteria

* Males and females, ≥12 years of age with a diagnosis of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia by genetic confirmation or a clinical diagnosis based on a history of an untreated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration \>500 mg/deciliter (dL) \[13 millimoles/liter (mmol/L)\] together with either xanthoma before 10 years of age or evidence of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia in both parents. * Stable on a low-fat diet. * Stable on pre-existing, lipid-lowering therapies (such as statins, cholesterolabsorption inhibitors, bile-acid sequestrants, or combinations thereof) for at least 4 weeks with no planned medication or dose change for the duration of study participation. * Fasting central lab LDL-C concentration \>130 mg/dL (3.4 mmol/L) and triglyceride concentration \<400 mg/dL (4.5 mmol/L). * Body weight of 40 kilograms (kg) or greater at screening.

Exclusion criteria

* LDL or plasma apheresis within 8 weeks prior to the screening visit, and no plan to receive it during the study because of the attendant difficulty in maintaining stable concentrations of LDL-C while receiving apheresis. * Use of mipomersen or lomitapide therapy within 5 months of screening. * Previous treatment with monoclonal antibodies directed towards PCSK9 within 8 weeks of screening. The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a participant's potential participation in a clinical trial.

Inclisiran
300 milligrams (mg) administered subcutaneous (SC) on Day 1. Participants with a mean serum proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) levels not suppressed by \>70% at Day 60 or Day 90, as compared to baseline, will receive a second dose at Day 90 or Day 104, respectively, based on PCSK9 levels from the previous visit. Participants also received standard of care as background therapy. Inclisiran: Inclisiran is a small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) that inhibits PCSK9 synthesis and is given as SC injections. Standard of Care: Included maximally-tolerated statin therapy and/or other low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C)-lowering therapies.
