Participant Flow

This was a Phase 4, open-label study that estimated the daily infant dosage and relative infant dose (RID) for bempedoic acid and bempedoic acid/ezetimibe fixed combination drug product (FCDP) and characterized the excretion of bempedoic acid (ETC-1002), ezetimibe, and metabolites ESP-15228, ETC-1002-glucuronide, and ezetimibe-glucuronide in the mature breast milk of healthy women.

A total of 16 subjects were enrolled into the study and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive bempedoic acid 180 milligrams (mg) or bempedoic acid 180 mg/ezetimibe 10 mg FCDP

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 hours post Day 6 dose administration

Population: Pharmacokinetic Analysis Set comprised of all participants in Full Analysis Set who had at least 1 evaluable post-dosing breast milk bempedoic acid pharmacokinetic concentration data point.

Daily infant dosage of study drug was calculated for Bempedoic Acid arm and FCDP arm respectively from the cumulative amount of study drug (bempedoic acid or bempedoic acid and ezetimibe) excreted in breast milk over 24 hours.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 hours post Day 6 dose administration

Population: Pharmacokinetic Analysis Set.

Relevant Infant Dose (RID) (calculated as the ratio of estimated infant daily dose per kg body weight and maternal daily dose per kg of body weight multiplied by 100) was analyzed for the Bempedoic Acid arm and FCDP arm respectively. Maternal dosage is the ratio of bempedoic acid dose or ezetimibe dose administered daily divided by maternal body weight at baseline.
