New shot could help lower stubborn high cholesterol

NCT ID NCT07253584

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

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tested an injectable drug called SAL003 in 720 adults with high cholesterol or mixed dyslipidemia. Participants were already on statins but still had high LDL cholesterol. The study compared SAL003 to a placebo to see if it safely lowers cholesterol further. The main goal was the percent change in LDL cholesterol after 24 weeks.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

SAL003 (an anti-PCSK9 monoclonal antibody injection)

What this could lead to

If successful, SAL003 could offer a new option to lower stubborn high cholesterol when statins alone aren't enough, potentially reducing heart disease risk.

What could go wrong

This is a completed Phase 3 trial, but results are not yet public. The drug may not show enough benefit over placebo, or side effects could limit its use. It's also an add-on to statins, not a standalone treatment.
