What the study is about

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).

Being studied: Inclisiran; Placebo

Conditions: Familial Hypercholesterolemia - Homozygous

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 alleles are 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 be on a stable dose for ≥30 days before screening with no planned medication or dose changes during study participation
  • Participants on a documented regimen of LDL-apheresis for ≥ 3 months before screening will be allowed to continue the apheresis during the study, if needed. The apheresis schedule/settings/duration must be stable prior to screening, are not allowed to change during the double-blind period of the trial and must permit that an apheresis coincides with each study visit.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Documented evidence of a null (negative) mutation in both LDLR alleles
  • Previous treatment (within 90 days of screening) with monoclonal antibodies directed towards PCSK9
  • History of poor response to therapy with any monoclonal antibody directed towards PCSK9 (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 for participants 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, or metabolic pathology of the liver or unexplained alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) elevation >3x ULN, or total bilirubin elevation >2x ULN (except patients with Gilbert's syndrome)
  • Pregnant or nursing females
  • Recent and/or planned use of other investigational medicinal products or devices
