New drug zerlasiran cuts high Lp(a) levels by 80%, potentially aiding heart disease patients.
A new study shows that zerlasiran, a drug targeting high lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)), can reduce Lp(a) levels by over 80% in patients with cardiovascular disease, with effects lasting up to 60 weeks.
The phase 2 trial, involving 178 patients, found the drug safe with mild side effects like injection site reactions.
These findings suggest zerlasiran could be a new treatment option for those with high Lp(a) levels, a factor linked to increased cardiovascular disease risk.
