Summary: The primary objective of the study is to evaluate real-world effectiveness of treatment with Repatha® in combination with SOC, compared with SOC alone, on the risk for cardiovascular (CV) death, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, or coronary revascularization, whichever occurs first, in participants with established atherosclerotic CV disease (ASCVD) treated w...

Summary: The goal of this open label 16 week trial is to evaluate Lp(a) levels for patients with elevated Lp(a) being treated with obicetrapib and obiceptrapib/evolocumab Patients will: Have baseline Lp(a) tested at randomization Take 10mg/dL obiceptrapib daily for 8 weeks and have Lp(a) tested at Week 8 Take 10 mg/dL obicetrapib daily/evolocumab 140 every other week for 8 weeks and have Lp(a) retested at ...

Summary: This study has the purpose to answer how the Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) level is distributed among Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) patients in Russia, and what is the connection between elevated levels of this parameter and the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.

Summary: This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenously administered YN001 in patients with coronary atherosclerosis in Australia. This study will be conducted in eligible participants with a diagnosis of coronary atherosclerosis, and at least 1 coronary artery is blocked determined by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA)

Summary: This study is an investigator-initiated, multicenter, prospective, open-label, endpoint-blinded, randomized controlled trial (PROBE design) that includes patients with moderate or severe symptomatic intracranial large vessel atherosclerotic stenosis (sICAS) who present with acute ischemic stroke within 48 hours of symptom onset. Patients will be centrally randomized in a 1:1 ratio into two groups:...

Summary: Intracranial atherosclerotic disease is the most common cause of ischemic stroke that is directly attributed to the progression or rupture of intracranial high-risk plaque in Asia. Many studies mainly from Euro-American population with a focus on extracranial carotid plaque have fully demonstrated the advantages of intensive statin therapy on stabilizing or reversing plaque burden, reversing plaqu...

Summary: The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of early initiation of PCSK9 inhibitor therapy for intensive lipid-lowering in Chinese patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) during hospitalization on the rate of lipid goal attainment, the time to achieve guideline-recommended lipid levels within one year, and the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events. The primary research qu...

Summary: This is a prospective, interventional, cohort study, meaning that researchers will follow and observe a group of enrolled study participants over a period of time (one to two months) to gather information and record any developments of the outcomes in question. This study will recruit 125 participants with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) to: 1. Analyze the effect of reducing the cholesterol levels in the bl...

Summary: AMUNDSEN-real is a phase IV, international (7 European countries), multicenter, controlled, open label study randomized, in 2 parallel groups of patients with a diagnosis of STEMI or NSTEMI with an indication for PCI, using the PROBE study design (Prospective Randomised Open, Blinded Endpoint). The objective of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of evolocumab versus standard of care in r...

Summary: For patients with anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), whether early application of proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors to rapidly reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) before PCI could effectively inhibit left ventricular remodeling has been rarely reported. The aim of this study ...

Summary: Rationale: Patients with acute coronary syndromes are at an increased risk for recurrent adverse coronary events, particularly during the early period following their initial presentation. Early (in-hospital) initiation of high-intensity statins reduces the risk of recurrent events and is therefore recommended by the best current practice guidelines.(1,2) However, the delayed onset of action of st...

Summary: The study protocol is a single-arm, open label pilot study designed to evaluate the impact of PCSK-9 inhibition on coronary blood flow in patients with stable coronary artery disease. Patients with stable coronary artery disease will be recruited from the BWH Cardiovascular Medicine clinic and/or from the BWH Nuclear Cardiology Laboratory. A target sample size of 50 participants will undergo imagi...
