Comment: Obicetrapib is a clinical lead, orally bioavailable, small molecule, cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP; P11597) inhibitor [1]. It was developed as a treament for dyslipidemia. Agents of the CETP inhibitor class are proposed to increase HDL cholesterol, lower LDL cholesterol, and enhance reverse cholesterol transport, as a mechanism to reduce the risks of elevated cholesterol on atherosclerosis. Prior to the re-launching of trials involving obicetrapib by NewAmsterdam Pharma, no CETP inhibitor had demonstrated sufficient safety and/or efficacy in a clinical study to warrant continued development [2].
