Abstract 11033: Efficacy and Safety of Inclisiran by Baseline Glycemic Status: A Post Hoc Pooled Analysis of the ORION-10 and ORION-11 Phase III Randomized Controlled Trials

Abstract

Introduction: Disorders of glucose metabolism increase in prevalence globally and contribute to excess risk of ASCVD, necessitating intensive lipid lowering. Aim: To analyze efficacy and safety of inclisiran (small interfering RNA targeting hepatic PCSK9 mRNA) across the strata of glycemic disorders. Methods: In this post hoc, pooled analysis of ORION-10 and ORION-11, 3174 patients (pts) with ASCVD/ASCVD risk equivalent (including diabetes mellitus [DM]) were randomized 1:1 to receive 300 mg inclisiran sodium (equivalent to 284 mg inclisiran) or placebo (pbo) at baseline (BL), Day (D) 90, and 6-monthly thereafter. Analyses were stratified by BL glycemic status (normoglycemia, pre-DM or DM). LDL-C percentage (%) change from BL to D510 and time-adjusted % change from D90 to D540 were evaluated. Safety was assessed over 540 days. Results: BL characteristics were generally balanced between the treatment arms across the glycemic strata ( Table 1 ). LDL-C % change and time-adjusted % change were greater with inclisiran vs pbo and were similar across all strata ( Table 2 ). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) and treatment-emergent serious adverse events were generally similar between the treatment arms; TEAEs were reported more frequently in pts with vs without glycemic disorders (not shown). Clinically relevant TEAEs at the injection site were reported more frequently with inclisiran vs pbo across the strata but all were mild or moderate ( Table 2 ). Conclusions: Twice-yearly dosing with inclisiran (after the initial and 3-month doses) provided effective and sustained LDL-C lowering irrespective of BL glycemic status, and was generally well tolerated.
