Clinical Trial Summary

This is a pivotal phase III study designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of inclisiran in adolescents with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).

Description:

This is a two-part (1 year double-blind inclisiran versus placebo / 1 year open-label inclisiran) multicenter study designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of inclisiran in adolescents with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) on stable standard of care background lipid-lowering therapy. The primary objective is to demonstrate superiority of inclisiran compared to placebo in reducing LDL-C (percent change) at Day 330.
