- Percentage (%) change in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) [ Time Frame: Baseline and Day 330 ]Inclisiran compared to usual care in reducing LDL-C [percent change] at Day 330 (Year 1)
- Percentage (%) achieving change in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) to <70 mg/dl [ Time Frame: Baseline and Day 330 ]Inclisiran compared to usual care in achieving LDL-C reduction <70 mg/dl [percent achieved] at Day 330 (Year 1)
- Absolute change from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Day 330 ]Inclisiran compared to usual care in reducing LDL-C [absolute change] at Day 330 (Year 1)
- Average percent change from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels to each post-baseline visit [ Time Frame: Baseline, after Day 90 up to Day 330 ]Inclisiran compared to usual care on average percent change from baseline in LDL-C levels after Day 90 and up to Day 330
- Average absolute change from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels to each post-baseline visit [ Time Frame: Baseline, after Day 90 up to Day 330 ]Inclisiran compared to usual care on average absolute change from baseline in LDL-C levels after Day 90 and up to Day 330
- Achieving ≥ 50% reduction from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (yes, no) [ Time Frame: Baseline, after Day 90 up to Day 330 ]Inclisiran compared to usual care on achieving ≥ 50% reduction from baseline in LDL-C after Day 90 and up to Day 330
- Percentage of participants achieving low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) targets (LDL-C < 100 mg/dL among the subset of participants with LDL-C ≥ 100 mg/dL at baseline, and LDL-C < 55 mg/dL) [ Time Frame: Baseline, after Day 90 up to Day 330 ]Inclisiran compared to usual care on achieving LDL-C < 100 mg/dL (subset of LDL-C ≥ 100 mg/dL at baseline) and LDL-C <55 mg/dl after Day 90 and up to Day 330
- Percent change in apolipoprotein B, very low density lipoprotein, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, lipoprotein (a), non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol, and total cholesterol [ Time Frame: Baseline and Day 330 ]Inclisiran compared to placebo in reducing Apo B, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), and total cholesterol over time
- Absolute change in apolipoprotein B, very low density lipoprotein, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, lipoprotein (a), non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol, and total cholesterol [ Time Frame: Baseline and Day 330 ]Inclisiran compared to placebo in reducing Apo B, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), and total cholesterol over time
- Measurement of the intensity of lipid lowering therapy (dose decrease, increase or no change) [ Time Frame: Baseline and Day 330 ]Inclisiran compared to usual care on intensity of lipid lowering therapy over time
- Percentage of participants discontinuing statin therapy (i.e., no statin use ≥ 30 days before the end-of-study visit) [ Time Frame: Baseline and Day 330 ]Inclisiran compared to usual care on discontinuation of statin therapy from baseline to Day 330

Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Recent Acute Coronary Syndrome (in-patient/out-patient) within 5 weeks of screening

- Treatment with other investigational products or devices within 30 days or five half˗lives of the screening visit, whichever is longer.
- Planned use of other investigational products or devices during the course of the study.
- Treatment with monoclonal antibodies directed towards PCSK9 within 90 days of screening.
