Highlights

– Enlicitide decanoate, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor, produced a mean 58.2% reduction in LDL‑C at 24 weeks versus placebo in adults with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) on background statin therapy.

– Reductions were durable to 52 weeks (≈55% reduction), and non‑HDL‑C, apolipoprotein B, and lipoprotein(a) also fell significantly.
