  • Overview

    There is a high unmet treatment need for novel oral LDL-c lowering therapies to be used on top of statins. Can CETP inhibition innovate the clinical management of LDL-c? In this series, three experts review the history on CETP inhibition, explain what we have learned from clinical trials with CETP inhibitors and explore recent data of a novel CETP inhibitor.

    This course consists of 3 episodes. Watch all episodes, answer pre- and post-test questions, and start earning CME credits. 

  • Program Highlights

    This educational program consists of 3 presentations on CETP inhibition. 

    What do we know now that could have changed the history of CETP Inhibition?: genetics and biology - John Kastelein, MD, PhD - Amsterdam, The Netherlands 

    • Over the years, there have been a lot of misconceptions about the effects of CETP inhibition. John Kastelein shares what we have learned from genetics and biology on CETP inhibition.

     

    CETP inhibition: Lessons from two decades of clinical trials- Stephen Nicholls, MD – Melbourne, Australia 

    • Stephen Nicholls shares what we have learned from prior clinical trials with CETP inhibitors. 

     

    A novel CETP-inhibitor to target CV risk reduction: Where could it fit in future lipid management?- Erin Michos, MD - Baltimore, MD, US 

    • There is a high unmet need for effective oral LDL-c lowering therapies to be used as an adjunct to high-intensity statins. Can a novel CETP inhibitor fill in this treatment gap?
