Trial-results highlights

Clinical trials investigated bempedoic acid for hypercholesterolemia. In NCT02988115 (CLEAR Serenity), the bempedoic acid arm showed a -22.58 percent change from baseline in LDL-C at Week 12, compared to a -1.17 percent change in the placebo arm. NCT02991118 (CLEAR Wisdom) reported a -15.07 percent change in LDL-C for the bempedoic acid arm at Week 12, while the placebo arm showed a 2.35 percent change. In NCT03001076, the bempedoic acid arm had a -23.46 percent change in LDL-C at Week 12, compared to a 4.99 percent change in the placebo arm. NCT05683340 observed a -25.25 percent change in LDL-C for the ETC-1002 180 mg arm at Week 12, versus a -3.46 percent change for the placebo arm. For hypercholesterolemia, NCT03337308 explored different treatments. At Week 12, the bempedoic acid 180 mg arm showed a -17.2 percent change in LDL-C, the ezetimibe 10 mg arm showed a -23.2 percent change, and the bempedoic acid 180 mg + ezetimibe 10 mg FDC arm showed a -36.2 percent change. The placebo arm in this study had a 1.8 percent change in LDL-C.

Regarding cardiovascular diseases, NCT02993406 (CLEAR Outcomes) reported the number of participants with a first major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) up to 68 months. The bempedoic acid 180 mg arm had 819 participants, while the placebo comparator arm had 927 participants. In terms of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), NCT03067441 reported the following counts for participants in various bempedoic acid arms up to Week 82:

  • 403 participants
  • 195 participants
  • 160 participants
  • 758 participants
  • 202 participants
  • 288 participants in the OLE Bempedoic Acid arm
Additionally, NCT05687071 reported 109 participants experiencing TEAEs in the ETC-1002 180 mg arm from baseline to week 52.

All values are sourced from primary registry reporting; individual papers should be consulted for clinical decisions.
