Summary

This study compares bempedoic acid, a non-statin cholesterol-lowering pill, to statins in 690 adults aged 40+ with high cholesterol who have had trouble sticking with statins due to side effects. The goal is to see if bempedoic acid lowers LDL cholesterol better and is easier to tolerate. Participants will take the drug daily and be monitored for cholesterol levels, muscle symptoms, and lab abnormalities.
