The Lp(a) Letdown and Tumors After Gene Therapy
Episode 20
Friday, 13 November, 2026

Friday, November 13, 2026 In today's episode, Dr. Jennifer Lincoln (@drjenniferlincoln) & Eva Johnson cover two large heart drug trials that lowered markers but not events. They break down Lp(a)HORIZON, which tested pelacarsen, and ZEUS, which tested ziltivekimab. They explain why moving a risk marker is not the same as changing outcomes. Plus: they also discuss an FDA investigation into tumors after the SMA gene therapy Zolgensma, what monitoring may mean for practice, an NFL star's scary neck injury, and more.
