Inclisiran in individuals with diabetes or obesity: Post hoc pooled analyses of the ORION ‐9, ORION ‐10 and ORION ‐11 Phase 3 randomized trials

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Post hoc pooled analysis of Phase 3 randomised trials

Authors' conclusion

Inclisiran provided substantial and sustained LDL cholesterol lowering across glycaemic/BMI strata, with a modest excess of transient mild-to-moderate TEAEs at the injection site.

Study context

Population
Individuals with normoglycaemia, prediabetes or diabetes, across body mass index (BMI) strata (<25, ≥25 to <30, ≥30 to <35, ≥35 kg/m²), on background oral lipid-lowering therapyrandomized 1:1
Comparison
Inclisiran 300 mg vs placebo
Outcome
Co-primary: percentage and time-adjusted percentage change in LDL-C from baseline
Follow-up
Day 510; after Day 90 and up to Day 540
Methodological detailsrandomized 1:1, placebo-controlled, stratified by glycaemic status and BMI
  • Randomized 1:1
  • Placebo-controlled
  • Stratified by glycaemic status and BMI

% LDL-C change, baseline to Day 510, across BMI strata

−48.8% to −54.4%

Time-adjusted % LDL-C change, after Day 90 up to Day 540, across glycaemic strata

−46.8% to −52.0%

Time-adjusted % LDL-C change, after Day 90 up to Day 540, across BMI strata

−48.6% to −53.3%
