Summary

This study tested a cholesterol-lowering drug called bempedoic acid in 180 adults in Taiwan who have high cholesterol or mixed lipid problems. The goal was to see how well it lowers bad cholesterol (LDL-C) and if it is safe. Participants either could not reach their LDL-C goals with statins or could not take statins at all. The results will help doctors understand if this drug works well for the Taiwanese population.
