Brief summary
A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase III Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Recombinant Fully Human Anti-PCSK9 Monoclonal Antibody Injection (SAL003) in Combination with Statin Therapy in Patients with Hypercholesterolemia and Mixed Dyslipidemia.
Detailed description
This is a Phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SAL003, a recombinant fully human anti-PCSK9 monoclonal antibody, in Chinese patients with hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia at very high or high cardiovascular risk who have not achieved target LDL-C levels despite stable, moderate- to high-intensity statin therapy (with or without ezetimibe). Approximately 720 participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either SAL003 140 mg or matching placebo, administered subcutaneously every 4 weeks for 24 weeks. Following the double-blind period, all participants will enter an open-label extension period and receive SAL003 140 mg Q4W for an additional 28 weeks, with a total study duration of 52 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint is the percent change from baseline in Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) at Week 24. Key secondary endpoints include the absolute change in LDL-C, the proportion of subjects achieving LDL-C target levels, and changes in other lipid parameters.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Subjects aged 18 to 75 years. * On a stable, moderate- to high-intensity statin regimen (with or without ezetimibe) for at least 4 weeks prior to screening. * Fasting LDL-C above target levels per 2023 Chinese guidelines: With ASCVD history: ≥1.4 mmol/L (Extreme Risk) or ≥1.8 mmol/L (Very High Risk). Without ASCVD history: ≥2.6 mmol/L (Moderate/High Risk) or ≥3.4 mmol/L (Low Risk). Fasting triglycerides (TG) ≤ 5.6 mmol/L at screening/randomization. * Provide signed informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
* Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH). * Uncontrolled hypertension (SBP ≥160 mmHg or DBP ≥100 mmHg). * Significant cardiovascular event (e.g., MI, unstable angina, stroke, PCI, CABG) within 3 months prior to screening. * Heart failure (NYHA Class III or IV) or LVEF \<40% within 3 months. * Severe renal impairment (eGFR \<30 mL/min/1.73m²). * Active liver disease or significant hepatic impairment (ALT/AST \>2.5x ULN or TBiL \>2x ULN). * Uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c \>8.0%) or type 1 diabetes. * Use of other lipid-lowering therapies (e.g., fibrates, niacin) within 3 months or any PCSK9 inhibitor within 6 months prior to screening. * Known hypersensitivity to any component of the investigational product or other antibody therapies.
