Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percent Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C)
Baseline; Week 12

Blood samples were drawn after a minimum 10-hour fast (water was allowed) at pre-specified intervals. Samples were collected and analyzed for LDL-C. Baseline was defined as the mean of the LDL-C values from Week -2 and predose Day 1/Week 0. Percent change from baseline in LDL-C was analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with treatment group and randomization stratification as a factors and baseline LDL-C as a covariate. Percent change from baseline was calculated as: (\[LDL-C value at Week 12 minus Baseline value\] divided by \[Baseline Value\]) multiplied by 100. For LDL-C, if measured LDL-C value was available, measured LDL-C was used.

Secondary Endpoints

Percent Change From Baseline to Week 12 in High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein (hsCRP)
Baseline; Week 12
Percent Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Non-high-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (Non-HDL-C)
Baseline; Week 12
Percent Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Total Cholesterol (TC)

Frequently asked questions about Bempedoic Acid+ Ezetimibe Fixed-Dose Combination

What is Bempedoic Acid + Ezetimibe Fixed-Dose Combination used for?

Bempedoic Acid + Ezetimibe Fixed-Dose Combination is an investigational small molecule being developed for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and hyperlipidemias. It is a fixed-dose combination of bempedoic acid and ezetimibe, intended to lower elevated LDL cholesterol in patients with these lipid disorders.

Who makes Bempedoic Acid + Ezetimibe Fixed-Dose Combination?

Bempedoic Acid + Ezetimibe Fixed-Dose Combination is being developed by Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ESPR). The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this fixed-dose combination for treating lipid disorders.

What phase is Bempedoic Acid + Ezetimibe Fixed-Dose Combination in?

Bempedoic Acid + Ezetimibe Fixed-Dose Combination is in Phase 3 clinical development. It remains investigational and has not been approved by the FDA. Seven clinical trials have been completed, including Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, with no active trials currently ongoing.

What clinical trials has Bempedoic Acid + Ezetimibe Fixed-Dose Combination been in?

Bempedoic Acid + Ezetimibe Fixed-Dose Combination has been studied in seven completed trials. Key studies include NCT03337308, a Phase 3 trial comparing the combination to bempedoic acid, ezetimibe, and placebo in patients on maximally tolerated statin therapy, and NCT03051100, a Phase 2 triplet therapy study with atorvastatin.

Is Bempedoic Acid + Ezetimibe Fixed-Dose Combination the same as bempedoic acid alone?

Bempedoic Acid + Ezetimibe Fixed-Dose Combination is a distinct product that combines two active ingredients: bempedoic acid and ezetimibe. It is not the same as bempedoic acid monotherapy. Clinical trials have evaluated the combination against bempedoic acid alone to assess its added efficacy.
