New drug trial offers hope for teens battling genetic high cholesterol

NCT ID NCT04652726

Summary

This study tested a drug called inclisiran in teenagers with a genetic condition that causes very high cholesterol. For the first year, some participants received the drug and others received a placebo, while all continued their standard cholesterol medications. The main goal was to see if inclisiran was safe and more effective than a placebo at lowering 'bad' LDL cholesterol over nearly a year.
