First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests bempedoic acid, a daily pill that lowers bad cholesterol, against statins in about 690 adults aged 40 and older who have high cholesterol but no history of heart attack or stroke. Participants must have had trouble sticking with statins due to side effects or other reasons. The goal is to see if bempedoic acid works better and is easier to tolerate, while also checking for side effects like gout or liver issues.
