A systematic review and meta-analysis of tolerability, cardiac safety and efficacy of inclisiran for the therapy of hyperlipidemic patients

BACKGROUND: Dyslipidaemia is a crucial risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. A short interfering RNA called inclisiran diminishes circulating levels of PCSK9 and LDL-C by hindering PCSK9 translation in the liver.

METHODS: RCTs were electronically searched on PubMed, Cochrane Central, and Clinicaltrials.gov to assess the safety and efficacy of inclisiran. Cochrane Review Manager 5 was used to conduct the pooled analysis. Risk of bias was assessed and GRADE pro-GDT was utilized, respectively, to estimate the methodological quality and overall quality of evidence.

RESULTS: Of 218 records screened, four studies were included with 2203 participants in inclisiran and 1949 participants in the placebo group. Inclisiran was related to non-significant elevated risk of total adverse events[RR = 1.05(0.98,1.12), p = 0.16; I2 = 53%], non-serious adverse events[RR = 1.09(0.97,1.22),p = 0.15;I2 = 61%] and all-cause mortality[RR = 1.01(0.60,1.70),p = 0.97;I2 = 0%] whereas a lower risk of serious adverse events[RR = 0.94(0.70,1.25),p = 0.67;I2 = 73%], cardiac disorders [RR = 0.87(0.66,1.15),p = 0.33;I2 = 42%] and Major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)[RR = 0.79(0.62,1.00),p = 0.05; I2 = 0%] as compared to placebo. Inclisiran was also linked to a substantial decline in the percentage of LDL-C, PCSK9, total cholesterol, and Apo B.

CONCLUSION: The pooled analysis of the existing evidence shows that inclisiran showed reduced risk of MACE along with excellent efficacy in managing dyslipidemia.

CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: www.clinicaltrials.gov identifiers are NCT03399370, NCT03397121, NCT03400800, and NCT02597127.
