Can a new RNA drug tame high blood fats?
NCT ID NCT07799129
First seen Sep 02, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether EDP167, an experimental RNA drug, can safely lower triglycerides and other harmful fats in the blood of adults with mixed dyslipidemia. Participants receive one of three doses of EDP167 or a placebo as an injection every 12 weeks, alongside their usual statin therapy. The study measures changes in blood fat levels over 24 weeks and includes an extension phase to assess longer-term effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- EDP167, an experimental small interfering RNA (siRNA) drug that targets ANGPTL3 protein
- What this could lead to
- If EDP167 works, it could offer a new way to lower harmful fats in the blood, potentially reducing heart disease risk for people with mixed dyslipidemia.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with a small number of participants. The drug may not lower lipids enough, and side effects are still being studied.
