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

Summary

This study tested a daily pill called ETC-1002 in 130 adults with very high LDL ("bad") cholesterol who either didn't respond well to statins or had side effects from them. Over 52 weeks, researchers checked how safe the drug was and how much it lowered cholesterol. The goal was to see if this drug could be a long-term option for managing cholesterol when statins aren't suitable.
