Among patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease or heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia who were receiving maximum tolerated doses of lipid-lowering therapy and were at high risk for cardiovascular events, obicetrapib reduced LDL cholesterol levels by 29.9%. (Funded by NewAmsterdam Pharma; BROADWAY ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT05142722.).
