Shots:
- The CHMP’s positive opinion is based on ORION program including P-III studies assessing Leqvio in 3,600+ patients on a maximally tolerated statin dose. Inclisiran demonstrated effective and sustained LDL-C reduction of up to 52% with 2doses/yr, after an initial dose and one @3mos., in adults with ASCVD, ASCVD risk equivalent or HeFH6
- 80% of high-risk patients do not reach guideline-recommended LDC-L, targets despite the widespread use of statins. Reduction in LDL-C was achieved through 17mos. with a safety and tolerability profile like PBO
- Additional post hoc analysis demonstrated 88% of them reached guideline-recommended targets at any timepoint during the study. Additionally, the therapy is also under review by the US FDA and other health authorities for primary hyperlipidemia in adults who have elevated LDL-C while being on a maximally tolerated dose of statin therapy
