New heart drug tested in first human trial

NCT ID NCT03626662

Summary

This was the first human study of an experimental drug called AMG 890 (now called olpasiran) designed to lower lipoprotein(a), a substance in blood linked to heart disease risk. Researchers tested single doses in about 80 adults with elevated lipoprotein(a) levels to check safety, how the body processes the drug, and whether it reduces lipoprotein(a). This early-phase trial focused on establishing basic safety and biological effects before larger studies.
