NCT ID NCT06982508
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether the experimental drug obicetrapib can increase the amount of antioxidants (like lutein and vitamin E) in the blood and eyes of healthy people. One hundred volunteers will take either the drug or a placebo daily for 4 months, with regular blood draws and eye exams. The goal is to understand how the drug affects antioxidant absorption, not to treat a disease.
