The Claim

In high-risk cardiovascular patients, administration of inclisiran at doses of 284mg or 300mg results in a reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) by 54.83% and 43.11%, respectively, compared to placebo, after a median of 24 weeks, demonstrating a potent and durable lipid-lowering effect with twice-yearly dosing.
