Frequently asked questions about Fenofibrate

What is Fenofibrate used for?

Fenofibrate is used for hyperlipidemia and dyslipidemia, conditions involving abnormal blood levels of fats (lipids). It is being studied as a treatment to improve lipid profiles in patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease.

Who makes Fenofibrate?

Fenofibrate is developed by Abbott Laboratories, traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ABT.

What phase is Fenofibrate in?

Fenofibrate is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational small molecule for cardiovascular conditions and has not been approved by the FDA based on the available data.

What clinical trials is Fenofibrate in?

Fenofibrate has completed two Phase 3 trials. NCT00195793 compared fenofibrate versus ezetimibe as add-on therapy to atorvastatin in hyperlipidemia. NCT01674712 studied fixed combinations of fenofibrate/simvastatin versus monotherapies in dyslipidemia.

How does Fenofibrate work?

Fenofibrate is a small molecule that targets lipid metabolism. It works by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR-alpha), which helps regulate the breakdown and clearance of fats in the blood.

Is Fenofibrate the same as fenofibrate/simvastatin combination?

Fenofibrate is the single-agent drug, while the combination product includes fenofibrate plus simvastatin. The combination was studied in clinical trial NCT01674712 for dyslipidemia, but fenofibrate alone is a distinct medication.
