Esperion announced significant findings from three abstracts on NEXLETOL (bempedoic acid) presented at the AHA Scientific Sessions 2021. Data from pooled Phase 3 studies showed that NEXLETOL effectively lowers LDL-C levels, achieving a ≥30% reduction comparable to high-intensity statins in nearly 1 in 3 patients. In individuals with metabolic syndrome, the treatment resulted in reductions in HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose. Notably, over 50% of patients not on background statins achieved significant LDL-C lowering. This establishes NEXLETOL's role in lipid management.
