Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Inclisiran in Children With Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia

RecruitingPhase 3

Two Part (Double-blind Inclisiran Versus Placebo [Year 1] Followed by Open-label Inclisiran [Year 2]) Randomized Multicenter Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Inclisiran in Children (2 to Less Than 12 Years) With Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia and Elevated LDL-cholesterol

Who can join

Ages 2 to 11 · All sexes

Full eligibility criteria
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

About the study

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).
