Inclisiran: First Approval [PDF]
Inclisiran (Leqvio®; Novartis) is a first-in-class, cholesterol-lowering small interfering RNA (siRNA) conjugated to triantennary N-acetylgalactosamine carbohydrates (GalNAc). Inclisiran received its first approval in December 2020 in the EU for use in adults with primary hypercholesterolaemia (heterozygous familial and non-familial) or mixed ...
