2. Ability to provide written informed consent to participate in the study.
3. Subjects with documented recent acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or evidence of myocardial ischemia.

5. No serious co-morbidities, which might interfere with the subject’s ability to enter the study.
6. Able to communicate effectively with the study team and to comply with the protocol.
1. Females that are of child bearing potential
2. Subjects without a non-culprit lesion considered appropriate to plan a staged PCI.
3. Clinically significant haematologic, hepatic, metabolic, renal, rheumatologic, anaphylactic reactions, neurological or psychiatric disease
4. Clinical evidence of any other disease, which might interfere with the subject’s ability to enter the trial.
5. Concomitant administration of medications that may interfere with treatment as assessed by the Investigator, including allergy to any component of the therapy.
