Two randomized, controlled trials evaluated the efficacy and safety of obicetrapib, an oral cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor, in lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in patients at high risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
Both trials show that obicetrapib is effective in reducing LDL cholesterol, with enhanced efficacy when combined with ezetimibe. The FDC offers a potent oral treatment option for high-risk patients who need additional LDL-C lowering beyond standard therapy. These findings suggest that obicetrapib may be a useful adjunct to lipid lowering in high risk patients, and a cardiovascular outcomes trial is underway.
