New medicine for high cholesterol when statins are not enough
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a new investigational medicine (QLC7401) that aims to lower LDL ('bad') cholesterol when added to your current cholesterol-lowering therapy. If you are already on a statin but your cholesterol is still not low enough, this trial might help you reach your goals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 18 years or older.
