Inclisiran is a small interfering RNA (siRNA) drug that targets and degrades PCSK9 mRNA in the liver, leading to lower levels of LDL cholesterol. It is used in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and is approved for use in adults with elevated LDL-C who are at high risk for cardiovascular events.
Pharmacokinetics in adult subjects with hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia after a single subcutaneous dose.
