These findings represent an important step toward expanding treatment options for patients with lifelong cardiovascular risk. “In collaboration with our partner, Daiichi Sankyo Europe, we are also presenting a new analysis from the CLEAR Outcomes trial that identifies patient characteristics associated with achieving robust LDL C reductions of 30% or greater, providing additional insight into how bempedoic acid can be optimally utilized in clinical practice,” added Koenig.
