Evaluating the effects of obicetrapib and evolocumab on Lp(a) levels
Official title: A Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Effect of Obicetrapib Alone and in Combination With Evolocumab (Repatha®) on Lipoprotein (a) in Patients With Mild Dyslipidemia: The VINCENT Study
Run by NewAmsterdam Pharma · NCT06496243 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if a new medication called obicetrapib, alone and with another drug called evolocumab, can lower Lp(a) levels in people who have high Lp(a).

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are individuals with Lp(a) levels greater than 50 mg/dL and LDL-C levels above 70 mg/dL.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with poorly controlled diabetes or recent cardiovascular events may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This open-label, 16-week trial aims to assess the impact of obicetrapib, both alone and in combination with evolocumab, on lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels in patients with elevated Lp(a). Participants will undergo baseline Lp(a) testing and receive daily doses of obicetrapib for the first 8 weeks, followed by a combination treatment of obicetrapib and evolocumab for the next 8 weeks. Lp(a) levels will be re-evaluated at the end of each treatment phase to determine the effectiveness of the interventions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with elevated Lp(a) levels, potentially reducing cardiovascular risk.
How similar studies have gone: While the specific combination of obicetrapib and evolocumab is novel, similar studies targeting Lp(a) reduction have shown promising results.
