Brief Summary:
The purpose of this extension study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of long-term dosing of Inclisiran. The study was a global multicenter study.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
ASCVD Elevated Cholesterol Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia Drug: Inclisiran Sodium Phase 3

Detailed Description:

This study was an open label, long term extension study in subjects with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), ASCVD-risk equivalents (eg, diabetes and familial hypercholesterolemia), or heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) despite maximum tolerated dose of LDL-C lowering therapies who have completed the inclisiran Phase II trial MDCO-PCS-16-01 (ORION-3; NCT03060577), or any of the following Phase III lipid lowering studies: MDCO-PCS-17-03 (ORION-9; NCT03397121), MDCO-PCS-17-04 (ORION-10; NCT03399370), or MDCO-PCS-17-08 (ORION-11; NCT03400800).

The End of Study (EOS) visit in the previous feeder studies was Day 1 in this extension study.The duration that each subject participated in this study was a maximum of 3 years. However, for subjects from the Study ORION-3, the Sponsor decided to end the study prior to completion of their full 3-year of participation. It is recorded in the database as discontinuation was due to Sponsor's decision.

In this Phase III extension study, the same study drug of inclisiran sodium 300 mg (equivalent to 284 mg inclisiran) was administered as a single subcutaneous (SC) dose every 180 days from the last dose in previous feeder study (except for subjects newly initiating inclisiran, who received the first two doses 90 days apart) until the end of the study.

On Day 1 (EOS visit in the feeder study), subjects from the previous feeder studies received blinded study medication except subjects from Study ORION-3. Subjects who received placebo in the previous Phase III feeder study received blinded inclisiran and subjects who received inclisiran in the previous feeder study received blinded placebo at this visit, so that subjects previously on placebo received the correct dosing regime, i.e. a dose at Day 1, Day 90 and every 180-days thereafter. Subjects previously treated with inclisiran did not need a dose of inclisiran to maintain every 180-dosing regime and therefore, were given placebo in order to maintain the blinding of the feeder study. Subjects that moved over from ORION-3 received the first study medication at Day 90, as this study was already open-label.

On Day 90, all subjects received inclisiran sodium 300 mg. This is 180 days after the last injection in the previous feeder study for subjects that received inclisiran and was the second dose of inclisiran for the subjects that received placebo in the feeder study. The EOS visit occurred at Day 1080.

This extension study allowed subjects continued access to inclisiran treatment and allowed the collection of additional efficacy and safety data for long-term use beyond the end of the feeder studies.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Inclisiran

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

Drug: Inclisiran Sodium
Inclisiran is a small interfering ribonucleic acid (RNA) that inhibits PCSK9 synthesis.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of Subjects Achieving Global Lipid Targets for Their Level of ASCVD Risk [ Time Frame: From ORION-8 Day 1 to the end of study (up to 1080 days) ]

    The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of inclisiran treatment on the proportion of subjects achieving prespecified LDL-C targets at end of study (EOS).

    Target is <70 mg/dL for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) subjects and <100 mg/dL for ASCVD risk equivalent subjects.

    Risk equivalent subjects are defined as either type 2 diabetes, familial hypercholesterolemia or a 10-year risk of a cardiovascular event ≥20% as assessed by the Framingham Risk Score or equivalent; without a medical history of coronary heart disease , cerebrovascular disease or peripheral artery disease.


  2. Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [ Time Frame: From ORION-8 Day 1 to the end of study (up to 1080 days) ]

    Safety assessments include adverse events and serious adverse events until the end of study.

    End of study visit occured at least 90 days following the last inclisiran dose once a decision was made to end the study (either by the subject, investigator or sponsor). For subjects prematurely and permanently discontinued from study treatment, who were not willing to return within the 90 day timeframe, the EOS visit was scheduled as soon as possible, or if decision to discontinue and not return was made at a specific visit, this visit became the EOS visit.



Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Absolute Change in LDL-C From the Initial Feeder Study Baseline [ Time Frame: Feeder study baseline, ORION-8 baseline, Day 1080/EOS (ORION-8) (up to a maximum of 2340 days) ]
    Absolute change from baseline in low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was calculated to evaluate the effect of inclisiran on LDL-C levels.

  2. Percentage Change in LDL-C From the Initial Feeder Study Baseline [ Time Frame: Feeder study baseline, ORION-8 baseline, Day 1080/EOS (ORION-8) (up to a maximum of 2340 days) ]
    Percentage change from baseline in low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was calculated to evaluate the effect of inclisiran on LDL-C levels.

  3. Absolute Change From the Initial Feeder Study Baseline in Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides and HDL-C [ Time Frame: Feeder study baseline, ORION-8 baseline, Day 1080/EOS (ORION-8) (up to a maximum of 2340 days) ]
    Absolute change from baseline in total cholesterol, triglycerides and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was calculated to evaluate the effect of inclisiran on other lipids and lipoproteins.

  4. Percentage Change From the Initial Feeder Study Baseline in Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides and HDL-C [ Time Frame: Feeder study baseline, ORION-8 baseline, Day 1080/EOS (ORION-8) (up to a maximum of 2340 days) ]
    Percentage change from baseline in total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was calculated to evaluate the effect of inclisiran on other lipids and lipoproteins.
