Overview

  • Research studies on dalcetrapib were stopped due to lack of clinically and statistically meaningful efficacy of the drug on interim analysis.[1]
  • The Dal-Outcomes study[2] assessed dalcetrapib at various dose ranges. This study showed a significant rise in HDL levels, but there was no significant difference between the drug and the placebo group.
