Study Summary

This is a pivotal phase III study designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of inclisiran in children (aged 2 to <12 years) with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) and elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female participants, 2 to <12 years of age at screening

  • HoFH diagnosed by genetic confirmation

  • Note: Participants with known null (negative) mutations in both LDLR allelesare not eligible (see also exclusion criteria)

  • Fasting LDL-C >130 mg/dL (3.4 mmol/L) at screening

  • On an optimal dose of statin (investigator's discretion), unless statin intolerant,with or without other lipid-lowering therapy (e.g. ezetimibe)

  • Participants on lipid-lowering therapies (such as e.g. statins, ezetimibe) must beon a stable dose for ≥30 days before screening with no planned medication or dosechanges during study participation

  • Participants on a documented regimen of LDL-apheresis for ≥ 3 months beforescreening will be allowed to continue the apheresis during the study, if needed. Theapheresis schedule/settings/duration must be stable prior to screening, are notallowed to change during the double-blind period of the trial and must permit thatan apheresis coincides with each study visit.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Documented evidence of a null (negative) mutation in both LDLR alleles

  • Previous treatment (within 90 days of screening) with monoclonal antibodies directedtowards PCSK9

  • History of poor response to therapy with any monoclonal antibody directed towardsPCSK9 (e.g. <15% reduction in LDL-C)

  • Treatment with mipomersen or lomitapide (within 5 months of screening)

  • Secondary hypercholesterolemia, e.g. hypothyroidism or nephrotic syndrome

  • Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH)

  • Body weight (at the screening and/or randomization (Day 1) visit) <16 kg forparticipants 6 to <12 years (at screening) or <11 kg for participants 2 to <6 years (at screening)

  • Active liver disease defined as any known current infectious, neoplastic, ormetabolic pathology of the liver or unexplained alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST) elevation >3x ULN, or total bilirubin elevation >2xULN (except patients with Gilbert's syndrome)

  • Pregnant or nursing females

  • Recent and/or planned use of other investigational medicinal products or devices

Study 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 children (aged 2 to <12 years) with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) and elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) on stable standard of care background lipid-lowering therapy.
