Résumé

This review aims to offer an up-to-date evaluation of Inclisiran's (a small interfering RNA treatment) ability to decrease low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), as well as its safety and potential effects on decreasing cardiovascular risk. Inclisiran significantly lowers LDL-C levels, as shown by phase III studies, by inhibiting hepatic synthesis of proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9 (PCSK-9), a protein implicated in the degradation of LDL receptors. Inclisiran has the benefit of subcutaneous injection twice a year, which may reduce patient nonadherence when compared with other LDL-C reducing therapies such as statins and ezetimibe, which require daily dosing. When added on top of statins, a greater proportion of patients achieved recommended cholesterol goals. It has also demonstrated a good safety profile with few adverse effects. Inclisiran is a promising treatment for lowering LDL-C levels in people at high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. It is a practical and well tolerated option for those who struggle to stick to medication regimes because of its twice-yearly dosage schedule and a good safety profile. Although it has been demonstrated to be effective in decreasing LDL-C, further research is needed to determine its impact on reducing cardiovascular events. Nonetheless, Inclisiran is a significant advancement in lipid-lowering medication and could improve patient outcomes.
