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 mean

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

Active substance

enlicitide (oral tablet)

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.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small study (20 people) focused on drug levels, not on whether enlicitide actually lowers cholesterol or improves health. Results may not apply to all patients.
