Enlicitide
Marketed by Merck & Co.
NCT05952856 · Phase 3 · completed
This was a randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial in 2,909 adults with hypercholesterolemia. The primary endpoint was the mean percent change in LDL-C from baseline to Week 24, a standard regulator-accepted efficacy measure for lipid-lowering therapy. The active arm achieved a significantly greater LDL-C reduction than placebo (-57.1% vs +3.0%, p<0.001), so the trial met its primary endpoint with a large effect size and low risk of bias.

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)
