Pil enlicitide kurangi kolesterol LDL sebesar 60% dalam uji coba fase 3

Sebuah pil oral eksperimental bernama enlicitide menurunkan kolesterol LDL sekitar 60% dalam uji klinis fase tiga berskala besar, menurut hasil yang diterbitkan dalam The New England Journal of Medicine. Uji coba yang dipimpin oleh Dr. Ann Marie Navar di UT Southwestern Medical Center dan disponsori oleh Merck ini melibatkan 2.909 peserta yang sebagian besar sudah mengonsumsi statin. Jika disetujui, pil harian ini dapat meningkatkan akses terhadap pengobatan kolesterol yang efektif.

Uji coba fase tiga tersebut menguji enlicitide, inhibitor PCSK9 oral, dibandingkan dengan plasebo pada 2.909 peserta dengan aterosklerosis atau yang berisiko karena kondisi terkait. Sebagian besar mengonsumsi statin, dengan rata-rata kadar LDL sebesar 96 mg/dl, di atas target 70 mg/dl bagi mereka dengan aterosklerosis dan 55 mg/dl bagi individu yang berisiko. Setelah 24 minggu, enlicitide mengurangi LDL sekitar 60% dibandingkan dengan plasebo, dengan manfaat yang bertahan selama satu tahun. Obat ini juga menurunkan kolesterol non-HDL, apolipoprotein B, dan lipoprotein(a).
