New cholesterol combo drugs enter human testing
NCT ID NCT07162441
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing two experimental drugs for high cholesterol, called UIC202502 and UIC202505, in 50 healthy adults. The goal is to see how the drugs interact when taken together or alone, and to check for safety. Participants will take each drug separately and then both together over several weeks. This study does not test whether the drugs actually lower cholesterol.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- UIC202502 and UIC202505 (experimental drugs for high cholesterol)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help determine safe dosing for future trials of these drugs for high cholesterol.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers, not patients. It only looks at drug interaction and safety, not whether the drugs actually treat high cholesterol.
