Overview

bempedoic acid + obicetrapib is a combination of two oral lipid-lowering agents with distinct mechanisms of action. Bempedoic acid is an ATP-citrate lyase (ACL) inhibitor that reduces cholesterol synthesis in the liver, while obicetrapib is an investigational, potent cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor that lowers LDL-C and increases HDL-C. This combination is primarily recognized in the context of a Phase 3 comparative clinical trial (NCT06041503) sponsored by A. Menarini International Licensing, which evaluates the relative efficacy and safety of the two drugs as separate treatments in patients with dyslipidemia or hypercholesterolemia at high cardiovascular risk. As of now, there is no established fixed-dose combination of these two specific agents.
