Brief Summary

This study was a Phase III,A two-part (double-blind placebo-controlled/open-label) multicenter study to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of inclisiran in subjects with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH).

Detailed Description

This study had two sequential parts:

* Part 1: 6-month double-blind period in which subjects were randomized to receive either inclisiran or placebo

* Part 2: 18-month open-label follow-up period; placebo-treated subjects from Part 1 were transitioned to inclisiran at Day 180 and all subjects who participated in an open-label follow-up period of inclisiran only

Inclusion Criteria
  1. Diagnosis of HoFH by genetic confirmation or a clinical diagnosis based on a history of an untreated LDL-C concentration >500 mg/dL (13 mmol/L) together with either xanthoma before 10 years of age or evidence of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia in both parents
  2. Stable on a low-fat diet.
  3. Subjects on statins should be receiving a maximally tolerated dose. Maximum tolerated dose is defined as the maximum dose of statin that can be taken on a regular basis without intolerable adverse events.
  4. Subjects not receiving statins must have documented evidence of intolerance to at least two different statins.
  5. Subjects on lipid-lower therapies (such as 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.
  6. Fasting central laboratory LDL-C concentration ≥130 mg/dL (3.4 mmol/L).
  7. Triglyceride concentration <400 mg/dL (4.5 mmol/L)
  8. No current or planned renal dialysis or renal transplantation
  9. Subjects on a documented regimen of LDL or plasma apheresis will be allowed to continue the apheresis during the study, if needed.
  10. Subjects must be willing and able to give written informed consent before initiation of any study-related procedures. The subject should be willing to comply with all required study procedures.
  11. Willing to follow all study procedures including adherence to dietary guidelines, study visits, fasting blood draws, and compliance with study treatment regimens.

    4. Have any medical or surgical condition, which in the opinion of the investigator would put the subject at increased risk from participating in the study
    5. Persons directly involved in the conduct of the study

  13. Any uncontrolled or serious disease, or any medical or surgical condition, that may either interfere with participation in the clinical study, and/or put the subject at significant risk (according to investigator's [or delegate] judgment) if he/she participates in the clinical study

  14. Any underlying known disease, or surgical, physical, or medical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might interfere with the interpretation of clinical study results
