In-silico trial emulation to predict the cardiovascular protection of new lipid-lowering drugs: an illustration through the design of the SIRIUS programme

Eur J Prev CardiolPublished In-silico trial programme

Study context

Population
Virtual patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) (prior myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke or symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD)) and fasting LDL-C ≥ 70 mg/dL despite stable lipid-lowering therapy
Planned comparison
Inclisiran vs placebo, ezetimibe or evolocumab
Primary endpoint
Co-primary: time to first 3P-MACE (CV death, nonfatal MI or nonfatal ischemic stroke (IS)) and time to CV death
Follow-up
5 years
