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.

Background: Drinking alcohol can lead to swelling and injury in the liver. Long-term heavy drinking may lead to liver disease. Researchers want to study the relationship between a drug called alirocumab, alcohol use, and liver functioning/swelling.

Summary: In this open-label, two-arm, randomized phase 2 clinical trial, patients with clinical stage 1B-3A non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy and cemiplimab every 3 weeks for 3 cycles with or without alirocumab every 4 weeks prior to surgery. Eligible patients will be randomized with equal allocation to two treatment groups. Permuted block randomization algorithm will...

Summary: The primary objective was to evaluate the effect of PCSK 9 Inhibitor (initiated within 4 h from PCI for the culprit lesion) with high-intensity statin treatment, compared to placebo with high-intensity statin treatment, on cardiovascular events (including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, re-hospitalization due to acute coronary syndromes or heart failure, or any ischemia-driven...

Summary: Atherosclerosis in the setting of HIV infection is distinct and includes increased vascular inflammation, worsened endothelial function, and a predominance of non-calcified plaque. These outcomes can be assessed using specialized noninvasive imaging which strongly predict future CV events in the general population. PCSK9 has emerged as an important pharmacologic target for cholesterol lowering in ...

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 multi-center, prospective, randomized, controlled study. The patients with STEMI who were to undergo PPCI were divided into PCSK9 inhibitor group (n=80) and conventional treatment group (n=80) using the interactive web response system (IWRS), at a 1:1 ratio. In the PCSK9 inhibitor group, a dose of PCSK9 inhibitor (alirocumab) was injected subcutaneously immediately after PPCI and was adm...

Summary: The objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of in-hospital initiation of alirocumab combined with statin ± ezetimibe on major cardiovascular events (MACE) in Chinese ACS patients. The main question it aims to answer is: whether early initiation PCKS9i in hospital could reduce recent cardiovascular event risk in Chinese ACS patients in real-world setting. Data from CCA Database-...

Summary: Calcific aortic stenosis (CAS) can cause severe adverse cardiac events, but there are currently no effective drugs that can prevent or delay the progression of the disease. In fact, aortic valve replacement remains the only treatment option. CAS has been shown to be associated with Lp(a), LDL-C and PCSK9. Several observational studies indicated that the use of statins to decrease LDL-C levels was ...

Summary: The study is prospective, open-label, randomized, single-center study involving patients admitted on an emergency basis with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) clinic who underwent PCI of an infarct-related artery (IRA) and had intermediate coronary artery lesions (50-70% stenosis diameter) and elevated LDL-C ( \> 1.4 mmol/l) despite statin therapy at the highest dosage. Patients who showed high com...

Summary: The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of alirocumab for in-stent neoatherosclerosis by using optical coherence tomography, in comparison with standard statin therapy.
