Summary

This trial is testing a new medication called Obicetrapib to help people with heart disease who still have high cholesterol despite taking strong treatments. The goal is to see if this medication can lower their risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other serious heart problems by reducing bad cholesterol levels.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with cardiovascular disease who are already on the highest dose of cholesterol-lowering meds they can handle, but still have high LDL (bad) cholesterol. They should not be in advanced heart failure, have had recent serious heart events or cancer treatments, uncontrolled blood pressure, severe liver issues, or a history of substance abuse.
What is being tested?
The study tests Obicetrapib against a placebo to see if it's better at managing cardiovascular risks when added to standard therapy. Participants won't know which one they're getting as it's randomly decided and kept secret even from the doctors (double-blind).
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects for Obicetrapib aren't listed here, common ones for drugs like this include headache, muscle pain, digestive problems, and possible liver enzyme changes. Side effects vary by individual.

Other Research
Common treatments for Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) often focus on lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) due to its significant role in atherosclerosis. Statins, the most widely used lipid-lowering drugs, inhibit HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme crucial for cholesterol synthesis in the liver, thereby reducing LDL-C levels. PCSK9 inhibitors, such as alirocumab and evolocumab, work by inhibiting the PCSK9 protein, which leads to increased recycling of LDL receptors and enhanced clearance of LDL-C from the bloodstream. These treatments are vital for CVD patients as they help reduce the risk of adverse cardiovascular events like myocardial infarction and stroke by managing cholesterol levels and slowing the progression of atherosclerosis.
