About This Trial

The purpose of this trial is to learn about the effects of inclisiran in people with serious heart conditions (acute coronary syndromes), when this treatment is started early after hospital admission. To do this, researchers will test the effects of inclisiran compared to placebo, when given with standard treatment.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 3 trials confirm efficacy and safety in large patient groups (often 300–3,000+) and form the evidence base for an FDA approval submission. For Acute Coronary Syndrome, Phase 3 studies typically randomize participants between the investigational treatment and either a placebo or current standard of care. A successful Phase 3 result is the threshold most treatments need to clear before regulatory approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

A target enrollment of 300 participants makes this a sizable late-stage trial. Studies in this range typically have enough power to detect clinically meaningful differences from a comparator and to characterize less-common side effects.

Who May Qualify: Participant eligible for inclusion in this study must meet all the following criteria: At Screening: 1. Signed willing to sign a consent form must be obtained prior to participation in the study. 2. Males and females, ≥18 years of age at the time of providing written willing to sign a consent form. 3.

Participant who has undergone or is scheduled to undergo CABG for treatment of the qualifying ACS event. 3. Active liver disease defined as: (i) any known current infectious, neoplastic, or metabolic pathology of the liver or (ii) alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevation \>3x ULN or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) elevation \>3x ULN, or total bilirubin elevation \>2x ULN (except participant with Gilbert's syndrome) at the Screening visit, in the context of an ACS, and assessed as related to the index event and/or treatment procedures (such as PCI).

CK values ≥5x ULN at Screening visit and confirmed by repeat test during Screening (local lab) , in the context of an ACS, and assessed as related to the index event and/or treatment procedures (such as PCI) eligibility will be based on Investigator's judgement for participant who will be randomized (who will be switched to or initiated on the protocol-specified dose of high-intensity statin of atorvastatin ≥40 mg QD or rosuvastatin ≥20 mg QD). Unless a more stringent CK value threshold is mandated by a local regulatory authority (e.g., ≥3x ULN in Korea according to MFDS internal guideline).
