Pfizer Inc. (PFE) said its experimental anti-cholesterol treatment significantly reduced LDL-C cholesterol across several dosing levels in a Phase 2b study of patients at high risk for cardiovascular events.

Bococizumab--also known as RN316--is part of a class of treatments called PCSK9 inhibitors, which are being developed by several major drug companies. Analysts and investors have watched development of the drugs closely because of their potential to treat millions of patients whose high cholesterol isn't well controlled with statins.

The study included statin-treated patients with high cholesterol who received doses of either bococizumab twice or once monthly subcutaneous administration or placebo. The study met its primary endpoint across all doses, Pfizer said.

Elevated LDL-C is recognized as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
