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.
4. Subjects who have a culprit lesion suitable for PCI, and a non-critical lesion in another vessel suitable for staged PCI with an FFR of <0.80, for subjects undergoing diagnostic angiography and FFR without ad hoc PCI.
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.

Exclusion Criteria

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.
6. Concomitant administration of any medication prohibited for use during this study (e.g. colchicine)
7. Male subjects consuming greater than 60g alcohol per day, or female subjects consuming greater than 40g alcohol per day.
8. Evidence of any recent history of, or current recreational drug abuse

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To evaluate the effect of antibiotic combination therapy on objective measures of improvement in coronary flow as determined by fractional flow reserve (FFR) in subjects undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with non-critical lesions in non-culprit arteries.[Day 90 post initiation of treatment (Visit 3)]
Secondary Outcome Measures
