LDL-C Optimization Using Inclisiran in Patients in Which Drug-Drug Interactions Limit LDL Lowering

연구 개요

Drug-drug interactions often limit statin optimization in a population of patients prescribed cytochrome P3A4 inhibitors, which include immunosuppressive agents, protease inhibitors, and antifungals. These patients frequently have autoimmune conditions or rheumatologic disorders that require complex drug regimens and are often on low-dose statin therapy or no statin at all, resulting in suboptimal LDL levels despite increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. There is an unmet clinical need to improve LDL levels in this vulnerable patient population, which faces increased CV risk due to underlying conditions that also contribute to polypharmacy and multiple drug-drug interactions. This study is a randomized, open-label trial evaluating subcutaneous inclisiran plus standard of care for LDL-C lowering in high-risk primary prevention patients with multiple comorbidities (e.g., Type II diabetes, liver disease, chronic kidney disease, autoimmune disease, solid-organ transplant) who are taking five or more medications in which drug-drug interactions prevent optimization of statin therapy.
