Lipid-lowering therapy with inclisiran in the real-world setting: Initial data from a national health care service
BACKGROUND
Inclisiran, a small-interfering RNA enabling long-term inhibition of proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) synthesis, demonstrates a good safety and efficacy profile in clinical trials. Real-world data on the potential to attain lipid-goals and reduce treatment gaps are lacking.
OBJECTIVES
To investigate the implementation of inclisiran in real-world clinical setting.
METHODS
Data from a nationwide healthcare organization on patients initiating inclisiran between 3/2022–11/2023. Patients’ characteristics, lipid-lowering therapies, post-treatment reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and attainment of treatment goals were evaluated.
RESULTS
Inclisiran was initiated by 503 patients (57% women; mean age 66±11 years). Cardiovascular disease was present in 54%, and peak LDL-C levels >190 mg/dL documented in 64%. Prior exposure to PCSK9 monoclonal antibodies was evident in 28%. Lipid profile >2 months after filling first prescription, was available in 397 patients (347 with ≥2 injections). In patients treated by inclisiran only (n = 254), median LDL-C reduction from peak levels was 57% (interquartile range [IQR], 48%-67%), and from pre-injection levels 40% (19%-54%). In those with concomitant lipid-lowering therapies (n = 143), median LDL-C reduction from peak levels was 66% (IQR, 55%-73%), and from pre-injection levels 46% (23%-59%). LDL-C < 70 mg/dL was attained by 39% and LDL-C < 55 mg/dL by 21.9%. Of those treated with concomitant statin therapy, 38% attained LDL-C < 55 mg/dL. Overall, 6.5% discontinued inclisiran therapy after initial injection.
CONCLUSIONS
In real-world practice, inclisiran showed good efficacy in reducing LDL-C with high interindividual variability. However, attainment rates of lipid goals were suboptimal due to limited use of combination lipid-lowering therapy and high rates of severe hypercholesterolemia in our patient population cohort.
期刊介绍:
Because the scope of clinical lipidology is broad, the topics addressed by the Journal are equally diverse. Typical articles explore lipidology as it is practiced in the treatment setting, recent developments in pharmacological research, reports of treatment and trials, case studies, the impact of lifestyle modification, and similar academic material of interest to the practitioner. While preference is given to material of immediate practical concern, the science that underpins lipidology is forwarded by expert contributors so that evidence-based approaches to reducing cardiovascular and coronary heart disease can be made immediately available to our readers. Sections of the Journal will address pioneering studies and the clinicians who conduct them, case studies, ethical standards and conduct, professional guidance such as ATP and NCEP, editorial commentary, letters from readers, National Lipid Association (NLA) news and upcoming event information, as well as abstracts from the NLA annual scientific sessions and the scientific forums held by its chapters, when appropriate.
