459 Evaluation of LDL-C reductions by siRNA treatment with inclisiran in patients with diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome or neither

Aims Patients with diabetes (DM) and metabolic syndrome (MS) have elevated risks for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Aggressive LDL-C lowering reduces risks. Inclisiran, a new siRNA, lowers LDL-C and was evaluated in patients with Type 2 diabetes (DM), metabolic syndrome (MS) without DM or neither (N) in the ORION-10 trial. Methods ORION-10 was a double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial evaluating inclisiran in 1561 patients with ASCVD on maximally tolerated therapy for lowering LDL-C. 781 inclisiran (INC) participants and 780 placebo (P) patients received 1.5 mL SQ tx at Days 1, 90, then every 6 months until Day 540. We evaluated the time adjusted change in LDL-C from baseline after Days 90–540 in DM (n = 702), MS (n = 455) and N participants (n = 404). Results There were no differences in baseline demographics and background therapies between INC and P. Statins were utilized in 89.8% INC and 88.7% of P. High intensity statins were utilized in 67.2% of INC and 68.8% of P; ezetimibe in 10.2% of NC and 9.5% of P participants. INC reduced LDL-C by − 54.4% (−58.3, −50.6 95% CI) in DM, (P Conclusions Inclisiran potently and durably reduces LDL-C across patients with DM, MS and those with neither, demonstrating potent efficacy and durability across glycaemic categories. Inclisiran may also represent a potent LDL-C lowering treatment for those with DM and MS.
