Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percent Change From Baseline to Week 12/End of Study (EOS) in Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C)
Baseline; Week 12

Blood samples were drawn after a minimum 10-hour fast at pre-specified intervals. Samples were collected and analyzed for LDL-C. Baseline was defined as the average of LDL-C values at the Screening Visit 3 (Visit S3) and the Treatment Visit 1 (Visit T1) (last 2 non-missing values on or prior to Day 1). If only 1 value was available, the single value was used as Baseline. Percent change from Baseline for LDL-C was analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), with treatment as factor and Baseline lipid parameter as a covariate. Missing data for LDL-C was imputed using the last observation carried forward (LOCF) method. 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 a measured LDL-C value was available, measured LDL-C was used.

Frequently asked questions about Bempedoic acid+ Ezetimibe

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.
