Summary

This study tested an artificial version of a missing enzyme (ACP-501) in one person with familial LCAT deficiency, a rare genetic condition that causes low good cholesterol and kidney failure. The participant received several doses of the drug and was monitored with blood tests and clinic visits. The goal was to see if the treatment could raise good cholesterol and slow kidney damage.
