Study Details

Monotherapies for lowering LDL-C often do not achieve target lipid levels because they act on a single pathway, which may be insufficient in patients with high cardiovascular risk or complex lipid profiles. Triple combination therapies, targeting multiple mechanisms of cholesterol metabolism simultaneously, have demonstrated superior LDL-C reduction and better achievement of guideline recommended LDL-C goals. Additionally, combining treatments into a single regimen can improve patient adherence and compliance, further enhancing clinical outcomes. This study will test the bioequivalence of a test fixed dose combination (FDC) vs the coadministration of individual tablets.

Arms

  • Experimental: Test Formulation
    Healthy participants who are randomized to receive the fixed dose triplet combination with bempedoic acid 180 mg/ezetimibe 10 mg/atorvastatin 40 mg (test formulation).
  • Active Comparator: Reference Formulation
    Healthy participants who are randomized to receive co-administration of bempedoic acid 180 mg + ezetimibe 10 mg + atorvastatin 40 mg (reference formulation).
