Testing Bempedoic Acid to Lower Cholesterol
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether bempedoic acid, a new cholesterol-lowering medication, can help people with heart disease or very high cholesterol. You'd take it along with your current cholesterol medications to see if it further reduces your cholesterol levels and protects your heart.
