FDA approves new monthly cholesterol drug with significant LDL reduction and improved convenience.
The FDA has approved lerodalcibep-liga (Lerochol), a new monthly PCSK9 inhibitor, for adults with high cholesterol, including those with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
It is designed for home use with a single subcutaneous injection, stable at room temperature for up to three months, improving convenience.
Based on Phase 3 trials involving nearly 3,000 patients, it reduced LDL cholesterol by at least 50% in those with HeFH and at least 60% in high-risk individuals, with no serious treatment-related side effects.
The drug is expected to launch in spring 2026.
