Elevated Cholesterol, Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia
Conditions
Keywords
HeFH, LDL-C, Inclisiran
Brief summary
This is a Phase III, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized study in participants with HeFH and elevated LDL-C to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of subcutaneous (SC) injection(s) of inclisiran. The study will be multicenter and international.
Interventions
Inclisiran is a small interfering ribonucleic acid (RNA) that inhibits PCSK9 synthesis.
Placebo will be supplied as sterile normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride in water for injection).

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Participants may be included if they meet all of the following inclusion criteria prior to randomization: 1. Male or female participants ≥18 years of age. 2. History of HeFH with a diagnosis of HeFH by genetic testing; and/or a documented history of untreated LDL-C of \>190 mg/dL, and a family history of familial hypercholesterolemia, elevated cholesterol or early heart disease that may indicate familial hypercholesterolemia. 3. Serum LDL-C ≥2.6 millimoles (mmol)/liter (L) (≥100 mg/dL) at screening. 4. Fasting triglyceride \<4.52 mmol/L (\<400 mg/dL) at screening. 5. Participants on statins should be receiving a maximally tolerated dose. 6. Participants not receiving statins must have documented evidence of intolerance to all doses of at least 2 different statins. 7. Participants on lipid-lowering therapies (such as a statin and/or ezetimibe) should be on a stable dose for ≥30 days before screening with no planned medication or dose change during study participation.
Exclusion criteria
Participants will be excluded from the study if any of the following
