Inclisiran

Steady
+24%new papersScore 40
20212026

An siRNA drug that lowers LDL cholesterol by reducing PCSK9 production in the liver.

Key point: Inclisiran achieves similar LDL-C reductions with biannual dosing, potentially improving adherence, though cardiovascular outcome data are pending.

20212026

A newer class of anticoagulants that target factor XI or XIa.

Key point: Adding an FXIa inhibitor to standard antiplatelet therapy after acute noncardioembolic ischemic stroke or TIA reduces stroke recurrence without evidence of increased bleeding risk.

How these numbers are counted

PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:

"renal denervation"[tiab]

Trials: ClinicalTrials.gov studies first submitted in each 12-month window that match the same terms. A query can miss synonyms or catch unrelated papers, so treat counts as approximate.
