Summary

This trial tested the use of Inclisiran, an injectable medication, in patients with high cholesterol that doesn't respond to other treatments. Inclisiran works by lowering a protein that increases cholesterol levels. The study aimed to see if it is safe and effective over a longer period. Inclisiran has shown about a 50% reduction in cholesterol levels with occasional use.

Eligible Conditions
  • High Cholesterol
  • Hypercholesterolemia
  • Cardiovascular Disease

Experimental Treatment
Group I: InclisiranExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Inclisiran sodium 300 milligrams (mg) was administered as a single SC injection on Day 1\*, 90, then every 180 days to Day 990. \*Subjects who received blinded placebo in the feeder study received blinded inclisiran and subjects who received blinded inclisiran in the feeder study received blinded placebo on Day 1 in ORION-8. Subjects from the open label ORION-3 study did not receive any injection of study drug on Day 1. Their first dose of study medication was at day 90
