New drug shows promise for lowering bad cholesterol without statins
NCT ID NCT05888103
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a drug called inclisiran in 207 Chinese adults with moderately high bad cholesterol (LDL-C) who were not taking other cholesterol medicines. Participants received either inclisiran or a placebo for 6 months, followed by 6 months where everyone got the drug. The main goal was to see how much inclisiran lowered LDL-C levels. The drug is designed to be taken long-term to control cholesterol, not to cure the condition.
