In other recent news, NewAmsterdam Pharma Co NV has made significant strides in its clinical trials. The company's leading drug candidate, obicetrapib, demonstrated positive results in Phase 3 clinical trials, showing a significant reduction in LDL-C, or bad cholesterol, in patients with hyperlipidemia. In addition, the drug showed a 21% reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) within a year of oral monotherapy. These results led Scotiabank (TSX:BNS) to increase the probability of obicetrapib's approval from 70% to 90%.

NewAmsterdam also reported positive results from its BROADWAY and TANDEM trials, which led to an increase in price targets by Leerink Partners and Scotiabank. The company also announced the termination of a $150 million share sale plan and restated its financial statements for the years ending 2022 and 2021 due to identified errors in the calculation of net loss per ordinary share.

The company welcomed new board members Mark C. McKenna and Wouter Joustra. Looking ahead, NewAmsterdam is preparing for the Phase 3 HORIZON trial of pelacarsen in 2025 and the Phase 3 BROADWAY trial readout, expected in 2024. These are recent developments for NewAmsterdam Pharma Co NV.
