ANN ARBOR, Mich., Aug. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Esperion (NASDAQ: ESPR) today announced the presentation of results from two oral presentations at the Late-Breaking Science Session entitled, “Clinical trial updates on prevention and lipid lowering” at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 2023 Congress, taking place August 25-28, 2023, in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Key Points: 
  • “We are pleased to share additional results from our landmark CLEAR Outcomes study in late-breaker presentations at ESC 2023,” said Sheldon Koenig, President and CEO of Esperion.
  • Of the 13,970 patients included in CLEAR Outcomes, 45.6% had diabetes, 41.5% were pre-diabetic, and 12.9% had normoglycemia.
  • At Esperion, we discover, develop, and commercialize innovative medicines to help improve outcomes for patients with or at risk for cardiovascular and cardiometabolic diseases.
  • CLEAR Outcomes is part of the CLEAR clinical research program for NEXLETOL® (bempedoic acid) Tablet and NEXLIZET® (bempedoic acid and ezetimibe) Tablet.

The results, presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2023, further support the long-term use of bempedoic acid in patients at high-risk of cardiovascular (CV) events and demonstrate particular benefit in those with diabetes.

Key Points: 
  • The results, presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2023, further support the long-term use of bempedoic acid in patients at high-risk of cardiovascular (CV) events and demonstrate particular benefit in those with diabetes.
  • “Furthermore, the data show that treatment with bempedoic acid does not impact HbA1c levels or the incidence of new-onset diabetes.
  • This is particularly important given diabetes patients’ increased risk of a CV event regardless of the presence or not of CVD.
  • These findings reinforce bempedoic acid as an effective treatment option for LDL-C lowering and CV risk reduction in Europe.

The FISH&CHIPS study was designed to assess at a national level the incremental impact of adding HeartFlow FFRCT to a CCTA-first (Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography) diagnostic pathway to evaluate and manage CAD.

Key Points: 
  • The FISH&CHIPS study was designed to assess at a national level the incremental impact of adding HeartFlow FFRCT to a CCTA-first (Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography) diagnostic pathway to evaluate and manage CAD.
  • FISH&CHIPS two-year key outcomes associated with availability of FFRCT include:
    A significant 14% relative reduction in cardiovascular mortality and a significant 8% relative reduction in all-cause mortality.
  • An increase in cath lab efficiency, driven by a 5% relative reduction in invasive cardiac angiography (ICA) and an 8% relative increase in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI).
  • High prognostic value for FFRCT whereby patients with severely abnormal FFRCT values (≤0.50) had a 2x risk of all-cause death and a 3x risk of non-fatal MI compared to patients with normal FFRCT values.
