Experimental: Inclisiran

Inclisiran sodium 300 milligrams (mg) will be administered as a SC injection on Day 1, Day 90 then every 6 months.

Drug: Inclisiran
Inclisiran is a small interfering ribonucleic acid (RNA) that inhibits PCSK9 synthesis.

Placebo Comparator: Placebo

Placebo will be administered as SC injections of saline solution on Day 1, Day 90 then every 6 months.

Drug: Placebo
Placebo will be supplied as sterile normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride in water for injection).

    18 Years and Older
    Sexes Eligible for Study:
    All
    Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
    No
    Inclusion Criteria:

    Participants may be included if they meet all of the following inclusion criteria prior to randomization:

    1. Male or female participants ≥18 years of age.

    2. History of HeFH with a diagnosis of HeFH by genetic testing; and/or a documented history of untreated LDL-C of >190 mg/dL, and a family history of familial hypercholesterolemia, elevated cholesterol or early heart disease that may indicate familial hypercholesterolemia.

    3. Serum LDL-C ≥2.6 millimoles (mmol)/liter (L) (≥100 mg/dL) at screening.

    4. Fasting triglyceride <4.52 mmol/L (<400 mg/dL) at screening.

    5. Participants on statins should be receiving a maximally tolerated dose.

    6. Participants not receiving statins must have documented evidence of intolerance to all doses of at least 2 different statins.

    7. Participants on lipid-lowering therapies (such as a statin and/or ezetimibe) should be on a stable dose for ≥30 days before screening with no planned medication or dose change during study participation.

    Exclusion Criteria:

    Participants will be excluded from the study if any of the following exclusion criteria apply immediately prior to randomization:

    1. New York Heart Association (NYHA) class IV heart failure.

    2. Uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia

    3. Uncontrolled severe hypertension

    4. Active liver disease

    5. Females who are pregnant or nursing, or who are of childbearing potential and unwilling to use at least 2 methods of highly effective contraception (failure rate less than 1% per year) (combined oral contraceptives, barrier methods, approved contraceptive implant, long-term injectable contraception, or intrauterine device) for the entire duration of the study. Exemptions from this criterion:

    6. Women >2 years postmenopausal (defined as 1 year or longer since last menstrual period) AND more than 55 years of age.

    7. Postmenopausal women (as defined above) and less than 55 years of age with a negative pregnancy test within 24 hours of randomization.

    8. Women who are surgically sterilized at least 3 months prior to enrollment.

    9. Males who are unwilling to use an acceptable method of birth control during the entire study period (condom with spermicide).

    10. Treatment with other investigational products or devices within 30 days or 5 half-lives of the screening visit, whichever is longer.

    11. Treatment (within 90 days of screening) with monoclonal antibodies directed towards PCSK9.

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame Day 0 - 510
    Adverse Event Reporting Description The safety population for adverse event collection was 481 subjects which is different from the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population used in efficacy analysis (482 subjects). One subject was randomized in the Inclisiran arm, but never received study drug, therefore this subject not included in the safety population.
    Arm/Group Title Inclisiran Placebo
    Arm/Group Description Inclisiran sodium 300 milligrams (mg) will be administered as a SC injection on Day 1, Day 90 then every 6 months. Inclisiran: Inclisiran is a small interfering ribonucleic acid (RNA) that inhibits PCSK9 synthesis. Placebo will be administered as SC injections of saline solution on Day 1, Day 90 then every 6 months. Placebo: Placebo will be supplied as sterile normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride in water for injection).
