New daily pill could help kids with inherited high cholesterol

NCT ID NCT07058077

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

Summary

This study tests a daily pill called enlicitide decanoate in 153 children and teens with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH), a genetic condition causing very high cholesterol. The goal is to see if the drug safely lowers LDL cholesterol more than a placebo. Researchers will also check how the drug moves through the body and any side effects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

enlicitide decanoate (a daily pill to lower cholesterol)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could give children with inherited high cholesterol a new daily pill option to lower their cholesterol and reduce heart risks.

What could go wrong

This is an early-to-mid stage study with only 153 children, so results may not confirm long-term safety or effectiveness. Side effects are possible, and the drug may not work for everyone.
