This study tests a new pill called enlicitide decanoate for people with high heart risk. It's a "PCSK9 inhibitor," which means it helps lower bad cholesterol (LDL) in your blood. The study will compare this new pill to a placebo (a fake pill with no medicine) to see if it can prevent heart problems like heart attacks, strokes, or surgeries.
Who can join? If you're 18 or older and have had heart issues like a heart attack, stroke, or leg artery surgery, or if you're at high risk of these problems, you might qualify. Also, your cholesterol levels and current treatments will be checked.
Who can't join? If you have certain genetic cholesterol problems, severe heart failure, or are taking specific cholesterol medications, you might not be able to join.
- Study Length: Participants will be involved in the study for some time, but exact duration isn't specified.
- Visits: You'll need to visit the study site for tests and check-ups.
- Risks: As with any study, there might be risks, so discussing with your doctor is important.
