An Operationally Seamless Phase 2/3 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Efficacy, and Pharmacokinetics of Enlicitide Decanoate in Pediatric Participants With Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Summary
This study is designed to learn if enlicitide decanoate is safe and effective to treat children and adolescents with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and high amounts of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the blood. The goals of this study are to learn about the safety of enlicitide and if children tolerate it, what happens to enlicitide in a child's body over time, and if enlicitide works to lower cholesterol levels in children more than a placebo.
