NAARDEN, the Netherlands and MIAMI, March 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NewAmsterdam Pharma Company N.V. (Nasdaq: NAMS or “NewAmsterdam” or the “Company”), a late-stage, clinical biopharmaceutical company developing oral, non-statin medicines for patients at risk of cardiovascular disease (“CVD”) with elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (“LDL-C”), for whom existing therapies are not sufficiently effective or well-tolerated, today announced that it will present additional data from the Phase 2 ROSE2 clinical trial at the 2024 American College of Cardiology Congress (“ACC”) in Atlanta, Georgia, being held April 6-8. ROSE2 evaluated obicetrapib in combination with ezetimibe as an adjunct to high-intensity statin therapy; full results from the trial were previously presented at the National Lipid Association Scientific Sessions in June 2023. At ACC, NewAmsterdam will share new data demonstrating obicetrapib and ezetimibe’s impact on small dense LDL-C, a robust predictor of residual risk of future cardiovascular events.
NewAmsterdam recently initiated TANDEM, a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate obicetrapib and ezetimibe FDC (‘fixed-dose combination”) in adult patients with Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (“HeFH”) and/or Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (“ASCVD”) or multiple risk factors for ASCVD, whose LDL-C is not adequately controlled despite being on maximally tolerated lipid-modifying therapies.
Details of the presentation are as follows:

About Obicetrapib
Obicetrapib is a novel, oral, low-dose CETP inhibitor that NewAmsterdam is developing to overcome the limitations of current LDL-lowering treatments. The Company believes that obicetrapib has the potential to be a once-daily oral CETP inhibitor for lowering LDL-C, if approved. In the Company’s Phase 2b ROSE trial, obicetrapib demonstrated a
About NewAmsterdam
NewAmsterdam Pharma (Nasdaq: NAMS) is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company whose mission is to improve patient care in populations with metabolic diseases where currently approved therapies have not been adequate or well tolerated. We seek to fill a significant unmet need for a safe, well tolerated and convenient LDL-lowering therapy.
