Pemafibrate To Reduce Cardiovascular Outcomes By Reducing Triglycerides In Patients With Diabetes (Protocol K-877-302, PROMINENT STUDY)

The purpose of this study is to find out if K-877 (also called pemafibrate), the study drug, compared to placebo (a treatment which looks like the medicine but contains no active pemafibrate), lowers cardiovascular (CV) complications (also referred to as “events”), such as heart attack, stroke and death from these conditions, in adults with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) who have elevated triglycerides (TGs; one type of fat), and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C; “good” cholesterol).
