Efficacy and Safety of Pemafibrate Versus Fenofibrate in Patients with High Triglyceride and Low HDL Cholesterol Levels: A Multicenter, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind, Randomized Trial.

CONCLUSIONS: The favorable safety profile of pemafibrate, with fewer adverse effects on kidney/liver-related laboratory tests and fewer AEs/ADRs, including those leading to treatment discontinuation, over fenofibrate 200 mg/day may justify the use of this novel and potent treatment option for reducing TG levels in a broader range of patients.
