Weekly shot aims to tame dangerous fat levels in the blood
NCT ID NCT07693777
First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This Phase 3 trial tests an investigational biologic called DR10624, given as a weekly injection, in adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia (very high blood fats) who are already on standard lipid-lowering therapy. The study compares two doses of DR10624 against a placebo to see if it can safely lower triglyceride levels and reduce related risks like pancreatitis. About 480 participants will receive weekly injections for 64 weeks, with the main goal of measuring the drop in fasting triglycerides at 26 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- DR10624 (a biologic injection)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new weekly injection option to sharply lower severe high triglycerides and reduce the risk of pancreatitis.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 3 trial, so results may not confirm benefit or safety. Side effects from the injection or immune reactions are possible.
