I think there is a drug on the market that was approved because it lowered cholesterol the same amount as statins. But when studied on how well it reduced heart attacks was shown to be worthless.

Yes there have been a few of these that have fallen over in large scale phase III trials where they reduced cholesterol, but didn’t reduce the death rate. Shows how little we understand even some of the most studied pharmaceuticals and disease areas.
