Merck’s experimental oral pill reduced LDL cholesterol by up to 60% in high-risk adults, matching injectable drugs without injections.
Merck’s experimental oral pill enlicitide lowered LDL cholesterol by up to 60% in a 24-week trial of 2,912 high-risk adults, matching injectable PCSK9 inhibitors in effectiveness without requiring injections.
The drug, which targets the PCSK9 protein, showed a safety profile similar to placebo and sustained benefits through 52 weeks, with most patients achieving LDL levels below 55 mg/dL.
It is not yet approved, but Merck plans to seek FDA approval in early 2026, pending results from a larger ongoing trial to confirm long-term cardiovascular benefits.
