”Breaking from AHA25
The phase 3 CORALreef HeFH trial brings a major step forward: the first oral PCSK9 inhibitor, enlicitide, cuts LDL-C by ≈60% vs placebo in adults with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia already on maximally tolerated statins.
- LDL-C ↓58% at 24 weeks and sustained −55% at 52 weeks
- ApoB ↓48%, non-HDL-C ↓52%, Lp(a) ↓25%
- >70% reached LDL < 70 mg/dL, with excellent tolerability
- No excess in adverse events vs placebo
Enlicitide (oral PCSK9 inhibitor, 20 mg QD) shows efficacy comparable to injectable antibodies — potentially transforming lipid management for HeFH and beyond. doi:10.1001/jama.2025.20620”
