New pill aims to unclog arteries in heart disease patients
NCT ID NCT07303777
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new daily pill called ABP-745 in 200 adults with atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries from plaque buildup). Participants will take either a low, medium, or high dose of ABP-745 or a placebo for 52 weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug can reduce the amount of plaque in the arteries compared to placebo.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ABP-745 (tablet)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new daily pill to shrink artery plaque and lower heart attack risk.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 200 people. The drug may not reduce plaque more than placebo, and side effects are still being studied.
