Anyone any thoughts or info on this:- The NHS in England has agreed early access to a new, as yet unapproved, cholesterol drug in what it described as a world-first 'population-level agreement'. In a collaboration with the manufacturer and the University of Oxford the drug, Inclisiran (Novartis), will also be studied as part of a large-scale NHS clinical trial.
