New cholesterol drug tested in liver patients
NCT ID NCT06575959
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed Phase 1 study looked at how the experimental cholesterol-lowering drug enlicitide is processed in the body of people with mild or moderate liver impairment compared to healthy volunteers. Twenty participants received a single oral dose, and researchers measured drug levels in the blood over time. The goal is to understand if liver problems affect how the drug is handled, which could guide future dosing recommendations.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors determine the right dose of enlicitide for people with liver problems, making the drug safer and more effective.
