Summary

This trial is examining if a new treatment can reduce cholesterol levels in those with high cholesterol who are not already taking medication.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with high cholesterol who haven't used any cholesterol-lowering treatments recently. They should have a low risk of heart disease in the next 10 years and LDL-C levels that are high but not extremely so. People with conditions causing high cholesterol, like thyroid issues, or those with diabetes or past heart problems can't join.
What is being tested?
The study tests if inclisiran can lower 'bad' cholesterol (LDL-C) more effectively than a placebo or ezetimibe by day 150. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either inclisiran, ezetimibe, or placebos for these drugs without knowing which one they're getting.
What are the potential side effects?
Inclisiran may cause side effects such as injection site reactions, allergic responses, common cold symptoms, and potential liver enzyme increases. Ezetimibe could lead to muscle pain, diarrhea, and fatigue.
