Brief summary

This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled study evaluates the efficacy and safety of obicetrapib (OBI) compared to bempedoic acid (BPA) in participants with dyslipidemia at high or very high cardiovascular risk. Participants must have elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels despite receiving maximally tolerated lipid lowering therapy. The primary objective is to compare the LDL-C lowering effect of OBI (a CETP inhibitor) against BPA at 12 weeks
