NCT ID NCT07028749
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This Phase 2b study tests whether the experimental drug MAR001 can lower high triglycerides and remnant cholesterol in adults. About 216 participants will receive either MAR001 or a placebo by injection. The main goal is to see if MAR001 reduces triglyceride levels more than placebo over the study period.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MAR001
- What this could lead to
- If successful, MAR001 could offer a new treatment option to lower high triglycerides and remnant cholesterol, potentially reducing heart disease risk.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2b trial with only 216 participants, so results may not confirm effectiveness or safety. The drug may not work better than placebo or could have side effects.
