Summary
This early-stage study tests STX-1150, a new medicine that temporarily turns off a gene (PCSK9) in the liver to lower bad cholesterol (LDL-C). It does not change your DNA. Up to 64 adults with high LDL-C will receive one or more doses and be followed for a year. The main goal is to check safety and how well the drug works.
