Initial randomized trials of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors were terminated early owing to adverse effects or futility. The REVEAL trial now shows the benefit of CETP inhibition in coronary heart disease. Despite raising HDL-cholesterol levels, the cardiovascular effect of CETP inhibitors is probably due to lowering of non-HDL-cholesterol levels.
