Lipid lowering

BROADWAY

LDL-C: 32.6 percentage-point reduction vs placebo · Day 84 (12 weeks)

10 mg once daily

Established ASCVD and/or heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia

Placebo-adjusted least-squares mean changes at day 84; LDL within-arm decrease was 29.9% versus a 2.7% placebo increase. EU Ubeslo/Evlarco authorizations announced September 21, 2026; U.S. approval and definitive PREVAIL outcome remain unverified.

Safety context

Treatment-emergent events: 59.7% vs 60.8%; serious events: 12.5% vs 13.9%; discontinuations: 4.0% vs 5.1% (obicetrapib/placebo).

Limitations: HDL increases are biomarker changes, not proof of protection. Cardiovascular-event analysis in BROADWAY was exploratory.

Obicetrapib · compound history across indications

Selected sourced milestones, not a complete development history. Dates distinguish study starts, publications, announcements and approvals; the first listed date is not necessarily when development began. September 22 selectively adds sponsor-announced European authorization; earlier history retained.

  1. Publication

    TULIP phase 2 results

    The early randomized study of TA-8995, later named obicetrapib, reported LDL-C lowering in 364 participants with mild dyslipidemia. The publication explicitly identified cardiovascular outcomes as requiring a separate trial.

  2. Announcement

    PREVAIL outcomes trial begins dosing

    NewAmsterdam announced the first participant dosed in PREVAIL, the phase 3 trial designed to test cardiovascular events in people with ASCVD despite lipid-lowering therapy. This is a trial-launch milestone, not an outcomes result.

  3. Publication

    ROSE phase 2 results

    The randomized ROSE trial reported the effects of adding obicetrapib to high-intensity statins, extending its clinical development into patients requiring additional lipid lowering.

  4. Publication

    BROADWAY phase 3 results

    BROADWAY reported a 32.6-percentage-point placebo-adjusted LDL-C reduction at day 84 in patients at high cardiovascular risk. This is the source trial for the obicetrapib lipid endpoints plotted here; biomarker efficacy alone does not establish cardiovascular-event benefit.

  5. Announcement

    European Ubeslo and Evlarco authorizations announced

    Menarini and NewAmsterdam announced European Commission authorization of Ubeslo (obicetrapib 10 mg) and Evlarco (obicetrapib 10 mg/ezetimibe 10 mg) for primary hypercholesterolaemia or mixed dyslipidaemia. U.S. approval and PREVAIL cardiovascular-event results remain unverified. National launch is a separate question; final Commission document was not retrieved.
