About this study

Official title: Comparative, Randomized, Multicenter, Followed by an Open Label Extension Trial in Patients With a Recent Acute Coronary Syndrome Evaluating the Early Inclusion of Inclisiran Into Standard of Care Versus Standard of Care Alone in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of implementing a systematic augmented low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) management care pathway initiated in hospitals for patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome. This pathway includes treatment with inclisiran on top of the standard of care (SOC), which consists of statins with or without ezetimibe, compared to a high-intensity SOC regimen alone (statins +/- ezetimibe).

Read the detailed description

This multi-center phase IV study adopted a two-phase design. The first phase (Day 1 to Day 90) is an open-label, randomized, comparative parallel-group design comparing an LDL-C management strategy that includes inclisiran with SOC versus SOC alone. The second phase is an open-label extension design (Day 90 to Day 210). After the EOI visit, the participants from phase 2 will be invited to participate in a 1-year long-term observational phase to assess medication adherence and satisfaction.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing inclisiran and SOC in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 24 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Novartis Pharmaceuticals (+41613241111, novartis.email@novartis.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percent change in LDL-C from baseline at Day 60 (time frame: Baseline and Day 60). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Oct 2026.
