Publications
Aegerion conducts both preclinical and clinical investigational studies on its product candidates. When appropriate, Aegerion may provide results of these studies to educate the research, clinical and medical communities on both the mechanisms of disease states as well as clinical results from its therapies. There are also other important scientific publications relating to the disease state and mechanism of action of our therapies from renowned authors and institutions that provide the basis for our clinical research.
Through the years, we have published and presented results relating to the efficacy and safety of our investigational therapies in full, peer-reviewed publications as well as presentations at society meetings. We have published, with our investigators, the results of our clinical trial work in world-renowned journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine(NEJM), and Nature, Clinical Practice Cardiovascular Medicine. We have presented at major society meetings such as the AHA, ADA, EAS, DALM, ISA, AALSD, and ATVB, among others. This site contains a bibliography of publications that should help educate and provide background on HoFH, FC, MTP-I and the clinical trial research of lomitapide.
