- What it's testing
- This Open-label, randomized clinical trial evaluates the comparative efficacy and safety of dual versus triple lipid-lowering therapy using rosuvastatin, ezetimibe, and bempedoic acid in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and elevated LDL cholesterol. The study aims to determine whether adding bempedoic acid to standard dual therapy provides superior lipid control without compromising safety.
