Adverse Event Reporting Description The safety population for adverse event collection was 481 subjects which is different from the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population used in efficacy analysis (482 subjects). One subject was randomized in the Inclisiran arm, but never received study drug, therefore this subject not included in the safety population.
