ACC meeting: New analysis shows 51% durable and potent LDL-C reduction with Novartis' inclisiran

30 March 2020

Over the weekend, Swiss pharma giant Novartis (NOVN: VX) announced results from a prespecified analysis of pooled data from three Phase III studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of inclisiran, its first-in-class investigational treatment for hyperlipidemia in adults.

The data was presented during a Late Breaker session at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session.

Inclisiran, was added to the Novartis pipeline as a result of its $9.7 billion acquisition of The Medicines Company.

The pooled analysis of the ORION-9, -10 and -11 Phase III trials showed a durable and potent reduction in LDL-C of 51% when used in addition to other lipid-lowering therapies (LLT) over 17 months of treatment. The prespecified analysis of pooled data is consistent with the efficacy and safety findings of the individual Phase III trial results recently published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
