NCT06267560 · Elevated Lp(a) and Established Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease
The lead study's design has limits that temper confidence (see the rationale below), and its results have not been reported. This tier describes the design, not an outcome.
NCT06267560: The study is randomized, quadruple-blinded, placebo-controlled, and includes 422 participants. However, its primary endpoint is the surrogate measure of change in Lp(a) concentration, and the primary comparison has not yet been reported, so the trial cannot establish whether pelacarsen met its endpoint.
