Brief Summary

This study will be a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, phase 3 study in participants with underlying heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and/or ASCVD to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of obicetrapib as an adjunct to diet and maximally tolerated lipid-lowering therapy

Detailed Description

This study will be a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, phase 3 study in participants with underlying HeFH and/or ASCVD to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of obicetrapib as an adjunct to diet and maximally tolerated lipid-lowering therapy. The screening period for this study will take up to 28 days. Afterwards patients will be randomized to placebo or 10 mg obicetrapib for a 365 day treatment period. After the treatment period, patients will have an end of study follow-up visit.
