ORION-8: Long-term assessment of the efficacy and safety of inclisiran in patients with high risk of cardiovascular events
Study Design1
ORION-8 is an open-label extension study with up to 3 years of follow-up in patients who completed pivotal and phase II trials.
Primary end point1:
The proportion of patients achieving pre-specified LDL-C goals at EOS*
Safety
Secondary endpoint1:
Percent change in LDL-C from baseline to EOS
EOS is either Day 1080 or ≥90 days following the last dose of inclisiran.
With a cumulative treatment duration of up to 6.8 years, ORION-8 demonstrated that twice-yearly administration of LEQVIO® provides consistent and effective LDL-C-lowering and is well tolerated in patients with high cardiovascular risk, with no new safety signals identified.1
With LEQVIO® treatment most patients achieved their pre-specified lipid goals1
Pre-specified lipid goals: ASCVD <1.8 mmol/L (<70 mg/dL); ASCVD risk equivalent <2.6 mmol/L(<100 mg/dL)1
*(78%; 95% CI: 77, 80). §LDL-C target was <70 mg/dL for patients with ASCVD and <100 mg/dL for patients at increased risk for CVD and aligns with AHA/ACC guidelines.
LEQVIO® demonstrated effective and sustained reduction of LDL-C1
LEQVIO® EFFICACY WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE PHASE 3 TRIALS ORION-9, -10 AND -111
**Baseline value of LDL-C is taken from the baseline of feeder trials. #n=2731 (49%; 95% CI: 48%, 50%). ‡Factors that increase risk of CVD include HeFH, T2DM, or 10-year risk of ≥20%.
Overall exposure to LEQVIO® was 2.6 years, and the total exposure was >8,000 patients-years1,2
• The cumulative exposure of LEQVIO® was over 12,000 patient-years. The longest exposure was 6.84 years, and a quarter of patients were exposed to LEQVIO® for over 4.45 years.1,2
Long-term safety data were consistent with phase III trials1,3
- No new safety signals
- Injection site reactions were the most common causes for treatment discontinuation (0.2% patients taking LEQVIO®)
- LEQVIO®-associated ADAs were infrequent (5.1%), and did not impact the efficacy and safety of LEQVIO®.
