-
In October 2026, AstraZeneca’s oral PCSK9 inhibitor is under investigation in the AZURE-HeFH clinical trial involving adults with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH). According to the trial registry, recruitment has been completed, while primary study completion is anticipated in January 2027.
-
In September 2026, Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals reported interim Phase I/IIa findings for ARO-DIMER-PA, an investigational RNA interference therapy designed to simultaneously suppress PCSK9 and APOC3 in patients with mixed hyperlipidemia. Following a single dose, the treatment achieved maximum mean reductions of 72% in PCSK9 and 88% in APOC3 levels. These results highlight the potential of dual-gene silencing to reduce atherogenic lipoproteins and warrant further clinical investigation. ARO-DIMER-PA remains an investigational therapy and has not yet received regulatory approval.
-
In August 2026, CRISPR Therapeutics presented extended Phase I findings for CTX310, an investigational in vivo CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing therapy designed to target ANGPTL3. At the highest dose, treatment resulted in mean reductions of 79% in ANGPTL3, 48% in triglycerides, and 53% in LDL cholesterol, with these effects maintained throughout the one-year follow-up period. The company reported no serious adverse events considered related to treatment in this small study and confirmed that Phase Ib clinical evaluation was ongoing.
-
In July 2026, FDA approves Lipfendra (enlicitide), the first oral PCSK9 inhibitor for adults with hypercholesterolemia. The U.S. FDA approved Lipfendra (enlicitide), developed by Merck, as an adjunct to diet and exercise to lower LDL cholesterol in adults with hypercholesterolemia, including HeFH. The once-daily oral treatment reduced LDL-C by 56% versus placebo in the CORALreef Lipids trial and 59% in the CORALreef HeFH trial at Week 24. The approval offers an oral alternative to injectable PCSK9 inhibitors.
-
In May 2026, VERVE-102 demonstrates substantial LDL-C lowering following a single infusion. Eli Lilly reported Phase Ib Heart-2 trial results for VERVE-102, an investigational in vivo base-editing therapy designed to inactivate the PCSK9 gene in the liver. A single infusion produced dose-dependent reductions of up to 88% in PCSK9 and 62% in LDL-C. The effects appeared sustained during follow-up of up to 18 months in some participants. The findings support further development of a potential one-time treatment, although larger trials are needed to establish long-term safety and clinical benefit.
-
In April 2025, Verve Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotech developing innovative genetic medicines for cardiovascular disease, announced promising initial results from its Heart-2 Phase 1b trial of VERVE-102. This trial focuses on patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and/or premature coronary artery disease (CAD), groups needing substantial and lasting reductions in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Among 14 participants treated across three dosing levels, VERVE-102 showed good tolerability, with no treatment-related serious adverse events (SAEs) or significant lab abnormalities. A single infusion of VERVE-102 produced dose-dependent reductions in blood PCSK9 protein and LDL-C, with an average LDL-C drop of 53% and a maximum reduction of 69% in the 0.6 mg/kg group.
-
In January 2025, LIB Therapeutics Inc. (LIB), a private late-stage biopharmaceutical company developing Lerodalcibep, a next-generation PCSK9 inhibitor, announced that the Phase 3 LIBerate-HoFH study has been published in Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. This study assessed Lerodalcibep in a globally diverse population with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH).
Hypercholesterolemia Overview
Hypercholesterolemia is a condition characterized by high levels of cholesterol in the blood. This can lead to the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems. It is often caused by genetic factors, an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, or other underlying health conditions.
