AZD0780
Developed by AstraZeneca
NCT06173570 · Phase 2 · completed
The study randomized 428 participants to four AZD0780 dose groups or matched placebo and used quadruple blinding of participants, care providers, investigators, and outcome assessors. Its primary endpoint was the regulator-accepted lipid measure LDL cholesterol, and all four AZD0780-versus-placebo comparisons were statistically significant in the favorable direction (p<0.001).
Next expected readout: January 2027 · NCT07000136 (registry estimate)
Inclisiran · Leqvio
Marketed by Novartis and partners
NCT03397121 · Phase 3 · completed
The trial randomly assigned 482 participants to double-blind inclisiran or placebo, with 242 receiving inclisiran and 240 receiving placebo. Both primary LDL-C comparisons were statistically significant in favor of inclisiran, but LDL-C is a surrogate laboratory endpoint rather than a hard clinical outcome, supporting a moderate evidence grade.
Next expected readout: October 2026 · NCT05360446 (registry estimate)
