|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- To evaluate the effect of obicetrapib on fasting apolipoprotein B (ApoB), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non HDL C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), and triglycerides (TG) at Days 84, 180, and 365; - To evaluate the effect of obicetrapib on fasting LDL-C levels at Days 180 and 365; - To evaluate the effect of obicetrapib on fasting lipoprotein (a) (Lp[a]) at Days 84 and 365; and - To evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of obicetrapib in a representative population of adult males and females with HeFH, assessed by adverse events (AEs), events of special interest (ESIs), vital signs (including blood pressure), electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements, and clinical laboratory values. |

Have a known history of alcohol and/or drug abuse within 5 years prior to Randomization; 12. Have received treatment with other investigational products or devices within 30 days of Screening or 5 half-lives of the previous investigational product, whichever is longer; 13.Are taking gemfibrozil; 14. Have planned use of other investigational products or devices during the course of the study; 15. Have participated in any clinical study evaluating obicetrapib; 16. Have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to the study drug, placebo, or any of the excipients in the study drug or placebo; or 17. Have any participant condition that, according to the Investigator, could interfere with the conduct of the study, such as, but not limited to, the following: o Are unable to communicate or to cooperate with the Investigator; o Are unable to understand the protocol requirements, instructions and study-related restrictions, and the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study (including participants whose cooperation is doubtful due to drug abuse or alcohol dependency); o Are unlikely to comply with the protocol requirements, instructions, and study-related restrictions (eg, uncooperative attitude, inability to return for follow-up visits, and improbability of completing the study); o Have any medical or surgical condition which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would put the participant at increased risk from participating in the study; or o Are directly involved in the conduct of the study.
