Nexletol: animal efficacy model or human cells?

bempedoic acid · ATP citrate lyase
Efficacy evidence
LDLR+/- and LDLR-/- Yucatan miniature pigs (160 days): LDL-C lowered vs vehicle
“Long-term treatment (160 days) with bempedoic acid at 120 and 240 mg/kg resulted in significant decreases in LDL-C levels (54% to 63%) in LDLR+/- pigs; modest decreases (27% to 29%) in LDL-C were noted in LDLR-/- pigs as compared to vehicle control.”

Why that model
Rat and monkey most relevant species on pharmacokinetic grounds
“From the pharmacokinetic point of view, the rats and monkeys were the most relevant species for non-clinical efficacy and safety studies.”

Reviewer's view of the efficacy data
EMA: adequate evidence of ACL-dependent inhibition of cholesterol synthesis
“Overall, the primary pharmacodynamic studies provided adequate evidence that bempedoic acid mediates its effects on cholesterol metabolism via ACL-dependent inhibition of cholesterol synthesis.”
