ESPR and partner Daiichi Sankyo Europe GmbH announced that the European Commission (EC) has approved a label update for its drugs Nilemdo (bempedoic acid) and Nustendi for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and to reduce the risk of adverse cardiovascular (CV) events.\nHypercholesterolemia indicates elevated levels of cholesterol in the blood.\nFollowing the label expansion in Europe, Nilemdo and Nustendi became the first and only treatments for lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), also known as bad cholesterol, approved for primary and secondary prevention of CV events.\nAdditionally, the updated labels support the use of Nilemdo and Nustendi either alone or in combination with statins.\nPlease note that Nustendi is a fixed-dose combination of bempedoic acid and ezetimibe.\nThe latest EC approval was based on positive data from the phase III CLEAR Outcomes study. Data from the same showed that treatment with Nilemdo and Nustendi led to a 13% reduction in the relative risk of major adverse CV events defined as a four-component composite of death from CV causes, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke or coronary revascularization.\nThe decision from the EC was expected as the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) recommended the approval for the label update of both Nilemdo and Nustendi as treatments to reduce LDL-C and CV risk in March 2024.\nShares of Esperion have plunged 20.4% year to date compared with the industry’s decline of 7.4%.\nImage Source: Zacks Investment Research\nPer the company, despite receiving treatments with statins, around 80% of patients do not reach the guideline-recommended LDL-C goals and remain at higher risk of a heart attack or stroke.\nHence, with the updated label for Nilemdo and Nustendi that covers both primary and secondary prevention, statin-intolerant patients in need of additional treatment can be addressed better, improving CV care throughout Europe.\nNilemdo and Nustendi are marketed as Nexletol and Nexlizet, respectively, in the United States. The drugs are already approved for treating elevated LDL-C and CV risk reduction in the United States.\nThe FDA approved the label expansions for Nexletol tablets and Nexlizet tablets to include indications for CV risk reduction and expanded LDL-C lowering in both primary and secondary prevention patients in March.\nZacks Rank & Stocks to Consider\nEsperion currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).\nSome better-ranked stocks in the healthcare sector are Krystal Biotech, Inc.
