New study tests Long-Term safety of Cholesterol-Lowering injection for kids
NCT ID NCT05682378
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at the long-term safety of inclisiran, a cholesterol-lowering injection, in children with a genetic condition that causes very high cholesterol. About 195 kids who completed earlier inclisiran studies will receive the drug for an extended period. Researchers will track side effects and how well the drug keeps cholesterol levels down.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Inclisiran (a cholesterol-lowering injection)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that inclisiran is safe and effective for long-term use in children with inherited high cholesterol, helping control their condition.
- What could go wrong
- This is an extension study with no placebo group, so results may be less reliable. It only includes kids who already benefited, which may not represent all patients. Long-term side effects are still unknown.
