Study Design: ORION-10 (N=1561) & ORION-11 (N=1617) were multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, 18-month, Phase III trials in patients with established ASCVD (ORION-10 and ORION-11) or increased risk for CVD§ (ORION-11). Patients were taking a maximally tolerated statin with or without other lipid-modifying therapy and required additional LDL-C reduction. The primary efficacy measure was the percent change in LDL-C from baseline to day 510.1,2

Study Design: ORION-8, an open-label extension trial that included 3274 patients from ORION-9, ORION-10, ORION-11, and ORION-3, was designed to assess the long-term safety, efficacy, and tolerability of LEQVIO in patients with ASCVD or increased risk for CVD§ and elevated LDL-C, despite ongoing treatment with lipid-lowering therapy.8,9

Limitations: Study was not blinded nor controlled and includes inherent self-selection bias for continuing onto the extension trial. The open-label design and absence of a control group may present difficulties in the interpretation of results, allowing comparisons only to baseline values.

*209 (6.4%) patients had exposure to LEQVIO for 6+ years, 213 (6.5%) patients had exposure to LEQVIO for 5+ years, 1553 (47.4%) patients had exposure for 4+ years, and 2095 (64%) patients had exposure for 3+ years.30

Greater LDL-C reduction was maintained during each 6-month dosing interval vs placebo as a complement to a maximally tolerated statin.1

LDL-C target was <70 mg/dL for patients with ASCVD and <100 mg/dL for patients at increased risk for CVD§ and aligns with AHA/ACC guidelines.3,8

§ Factors that increase risk of CVD include HeFH, T2DM, or 10-year risk of ≥20%.2

|| End of study was defined as day 1080 or ≥90 days after the last LEQVIO dose.8

Study Description: ORION-1 was a Phase II, multicenter, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of 345 subjects with established ASCVD who were taking a maximally tolerated statin and required additional LDL-C reduction. Of those, 91 patients received the 284-mg dose of LEQVIO. The primary efficacy end point was the percent reduction in LDL-C from baseline to day 180 and was calculated for multiple time points at days 14, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, and 240.1,7

INDICATION

LEQVIO (inclisiran) injection is indicated as an adjunct to diet and statin therapy for the treatment of adults with primary hyperlipidemia, including heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH), to reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Adverse reactions in clinical trials (≥3% of patients treated with LEQVIO and more frequently than placebo) were injection site reaction, arthralgia, and bronchitis.
