New cholesterol drug candidate enters early human testing
NCT ID NCT07152873
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial will test a new drug formulation (AD-117) for mixed dyslipidemia, a condition involving high cholesterol and triglycerides. Sixty healthy adults will receive a single dose of either the new or a reference formulation to compare how the body processes each. The main goal is to check safety and drug levels in the blood, not yet to see if it treats the condition.
