New hope for Statin-Free cholesterol control?

NCT ID NCT05923281

First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study tested a drug called pemafibrate (K-877) in 71 adults with high cholesterol who cannot take statins because of side effects. Participants took either a low or high dose of pemafibrate or a placebo for 12 weeks. The main goal was to see if the drug safely lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol. This is a phase 3 trial, meaning it is a late-stage test to confirm the drug's effectiveness and safety.
