NCT04998981 · Hyperlipidemia
The completed lead evidence has the design features that historically survive confirmatory trials: randomized, controlled, and adequately powered against a prespecified clinically accepted endpoint.
NCT04998981: This randomized, placebo- and active-controlled trial kept participants, care providers, investigators and outcome assessors blind to treatment assignment. Its primary endpoint was met: the higher pemafibrate dose produced a significantly larger triglyceride reduction than both placebo and fenofibrate.
