Two Part (Double-blind Inclisiran Versus Placebo [Year 1] Followed by Open-label Inclisiran [Year 2]) Randomized Multicenter Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Inclisiran in Children (2 to Less Than 12 Years) With Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia and Elevated LDL-cholesterol

Conditions
Summary
This is a pivotal phase III study designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of inclisiran in children (aged 2 to \<12 years) with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) and elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC).
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria2
- Male or female participants, 2 to \<12 years of age at screening
- HoFH diagnosed by genetic confirmation
Exclusion Criteria14
- Fasting LDL-C \>130 mg/dL (3.4 mmol/L) at screening
- On an optimal dose of statin (investigator's discretion), unless statin intolerant, with or without other lipid-lowering therapy (e.g. ezetimibe)
- Participants on lipid-lowering therapies (such as e.g. statins, ezetimibe) must be on a stable dose for ≥30 days before screening with no planned medication or dose changes during study participation
- Participants on a documented regimen of LDL-apheresis for ≥ 3 months before screening will be allowed to continue the apheresis during the study, if needed. The apheresis schedule/settings/duration must be stable prior to screening, are not allowed to change during the double-blind period of the trial and must permit that an apheresis coincides with each study visit.
- Documented evidence of a null (negative) mutation in both LDLR alleles
- Previous treatment (within 90 days of screening) with monoclonal antibodies directed towards PCSK9
- History of poor response to therapy with any monoclonal antibody directed towards PCSK9 (e.g. \<15% reduction in LDL-C)
- Treatment with mipomersen or lomitapide (within 5 months of screening)
- Secondary hypercholesterolemia, e.g. hypothyroidism or nephrotic syndrome
- Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH)
- Body weight (at the screening and/or randomization (Day 1) visit) \<16 kg for participants 6 to \<12 years (at screening) or \<11 kg for participants 2 to \<6 years (at screening)
- Active liver disease defined as any known current infectious, neoplastic, or metabolic pathology of the liver or unexplained alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) elevation \>3x ULN, or total bilirubin elevation \>2x ULN (except patients with Gilbert's syndrome)
- Pregnant or nursing females
- Recent and/or planned use of other investigational medicinal products or devices
Interventions
Inclisiran (inclisiran sodium 300 mg subcutaneous (s.c.) for participants with body weight ≥23 kg, inclisiran sodium 180 mg s.c. for participants with body weight \<23 kg to ≥16 kg, or inclisiran sodium 100 mg s.c. for participants with body weight \<16 kg. The dose level is based on the participant's body weight on Day 1 (for Part 1) and Day 360 (for Part 2), respectively.
Sterile normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride in water for subcutaneous injection)
