Effectiveness and safety of Inclisiran in hyperlipidemia treatment: An overview of systematic reviews

Background: This paper aimed to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Inclisiran in treating hyperlipidemia through an overview of systematic reviews (SRs). Methods: The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, PubMed, CNKI, WANGFANG database, VIP database, ClinicalTrials.gov, and ICRT were searched electronically to collect SRs and meta-analysis of Inclisiran in hyperlipidemia treatment from the establishment of the database till May 2022. Two researchers independently screened the relevant literature, then the assessment of multiple systematic reviews tool was made into assess the methodological quality of the included studies. Data extracted were used to perform the study through RevMan5.3 software. The grading of recommendations assessment, development, and evaluation tool was used to grade the quality of the evidence of the outcomes included in the SRs. Prospero ID: CRD 42022326845. Results: A total of 10 relevant SRs were included, involving 7 randomized controlled trials. The assessment results of the assessment of multiple systematic reviews tool suggested that the quality of the SRs included needed to be improved. The reduced level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol of the experimental group was lower than the control group, and the difference in the amount of effectiveness was statistically significant (MD = -50.13, 95%CI: -56.2 to -44.06, P < .00001). The grading of recommendations assessment, development, and evaluation results showed that out of 27 outcomes, 8 were high-quality, 3 were of medium quality, 6 were of low quality, and 10 were of the most inferior quality. Conclusion: 300mg Inclisiran with 2 injections a year has the best therapeutic effect, which can significantly reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and total cholesterol, and increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in patients with hyperlipidemia. Inclisiran has a favorable safety profile, with no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions compared to a placebo. Most of the adverse effects were associated with the reaction on the injection site.
