First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This Phase 3 study tested a new injectable drug called SAL003 in 618 adults with high cholesterol or mixed dyslipidemia. Participants received either SAL003 or a placebo every 4 weeks for 12 weeks, then all received SAL003 for another 40 weeks. The main goal was to see if SAL003 lowers LDL ('bad') cholesterol more than placebo. The trial is complete, but results are not yet available.
