A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Company is hosting a live webcast and conference call to discuss the positive topline results of the BROOKLYN clinical trial on July 29, 2024 at 8:30 a.m., Eastern Time, and a live webcast of the call will be available through the Company’s website. A copy of the slide presentation to be used by the Company during the conference call is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

On July 29, 2024, the Company announced positive topline results from its BROOKLYN clinical trial, a 52-week, global, pivotal, Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 10 mg obicetrapib compared to placebo as an adjunct to maximally tolerated lipid-lowering therapies in patients with HeFH whose LDL-C is not adequately controlled. The trial met its primary endpoint, with the obicetrapib arm achieving a statistically significant reduction of LDL-C versus placebo at day 84. The observed reduction was sustained at day 365 versus the placebo. The trial also met several of its prespecified secondary endpoints with statistical significance. 51% of patients in the treatment arm achieved an LDL-C level below 70 mg/dl.

Topline results from the BROOKLYN trial are as follows:

LDL-C LS mean percentage change:

The BROOKLYN trial was conducted at sites in North America, Europe and Africa. A total of 354 patients were randomized 2:1 to receive 10 mg obicetrapib or placebo dosed as a once-daily oral treatment, with or without food. The mean baseline LDL-C for enrolled patients in the obicetrapib arm was 123 mg/dL despite high intensity statin use reported by approximately 79% of patients during screening. Females comprised approximately 53% of the study population and the median age of participants at baseline was 57 years.

Obicetrapib was observed to be generally well-tolerated, with safety results comparable to placebo and no increase in blood pressure. The treatment discontinuation rate for the obicetrapib arm was 7.6% versus 14.4% for the placebo. The incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (“TEAEs”), study-drug related TEAEs and treatment-emergent serious adverse events (“TESAEs”) are summarized in the table below:

The Company plans to present full results from BROOKLYN at an upcoming medical conference and to publish the data in a major medical journal.
