Anacetrapib is a CETP inhibitor being developed to treat hypercholesterolemia (elevated cholesterol levels) and prevent cardiovascular disease.
Anacetrapib reduces the transfer of cholesteryl ester from HDL to LDL and/or VLDL thereby, producing an increase in serum HDL-cholesterol levels and a decrease in serum LDL-cholesterol levels.
The large morbidity and mortality trial with anacetrapib, known as REVEAL and run by researchers at the University of Oxford, is currently ongoing, and full results are expected in 2017.
