AI Technical Summary
Current treatments for elevated lipoprotein(a) levels, a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, lack effective oral drug options and often result in the formation of potentially carcinogenic nitrosamines, necessitating a composition with reduced nitrosamine levels without affecting stability or disintegration time.
An oral composition containing an Lp(a) inhibitor compound, histidine, and a bulking agent with a small amount of nitrite, which minimizes nitrosamine formation and maintains stability and disintegration properties.
The composition effectively reduces nitrosamine levels to less than 50 ppm, ensuring safety while maintaining the stability and disintegration properties of the oral formulation.
