About this trial

This is a pivotal phase III study designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of inclisiran in children (aged 6 to \<12 years) with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC).

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Male or female participants, 6 to <12 years of age at screening

HeFH diagnosed either by genetic testing or on phenotypic criteria

For participants 8 to <12 years, on an optimal dose of statin (investigator's discretion) unless statin intolerant, with or without other lipid-lowering therapy (e.g. ezetimibe). For participants <8 years, the use of background lipid-lowering treatment is based on investigator's discretion.

Disqualifiers

Previous treatment (within 90 days of screening) with monoclonal antibodies directed towards PCSK9

Secondary hypercholesterolemia, e.g. hypothyroidism or nephrotic syndrome

Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH)

Body weight <16 kg at the screening and/or randomization (Day 1) visit
