简要总结

This is a multicenter, randomized, open label study with blinded outcome assessment to evaluate the impact of additional/intensive LDL-cholesterol reduction with evolocumab on carotid artery atherosclerotic plaques in higher risk subjects with severe asymptomatic but vulnerable plaques.

入选标准

  • Age ≥ 40 years old
  • Significant (70-99%) carotid artery stenosis on one side, as measured by duplex ultrasound or angiogram
  • Asymptomatic carotid stenosis (no history of ipsilateral stroke or TIA within 180 days)
  • Deemed to be fit for carotid endarterectomy
  • At least one of the following high-risk features: (a) prior stroke >6months prior to randomization; (b) peripheral artery disease; (c) current smoker; (d) type 2 diabetes; (e) eGFR ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73m2 and <60 ml/min/1.73m2; (f) hsCRP > 2mg/L in the absence of alternative known causes of hsCRP elevations including autoimmune diseases or active infections.
  • On a moderate to high intensity statin therapy (defined as atorvastatin 40-80mg daily, rosuvastatin 20-40mg or simvastatin 40mg daily) unless a lower dose, or another statin or non-statin therapy is clinically justified

排除标准

  • Contraindications for MRI (pacemaker; neurostimulator; non-removable metal fragments in the eye; etc.)
  • Patients in whom additional lowering of LDL-C with evolocumab is deemed to be clinically inappropriate
  • Currently taking simvastatin >40mg/day
  • High risk comorbidities such as severe heart failure, severe COPD, severe renal disease, known severe hepatic impairment, unstable coronary syndrome, and/or advanced dementia
  • eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73m2
  • Current, prior within past year, or known planned use of PCSK9 inhibition treatment
  • Known intolerance or allergy to evolocumab or other PCSK9 inhibitors
  • Known latex allergy
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Women of child bearing potential who are unwilling to use proper family planning or birth control methods to avoid pregnancy. Women are considered post-menopausal and not of childbearing potential after 12 months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea or have had a surgical procedure such as hysterectomy which makes pregnancy impossible
  • Inability to comply with protocol-required study visits or procedures, including administration of study drug
  • Severe concomitant disease that is expected to reduce life expectancy to less than 5 years
  • Participation in another investigational device or drug study which is likely to affect the primary outcome, within 30 days of planned initiation of study drug
  • Additional Inclusion Criteria
  • If all eligibility criteria listed above are met, participants with only one high risk feature will undergo a time-of-flight MR angiogram, where one additional inclusion criteria will be assessed to confirm eligibility:
  • Evidence of IPH on MRI
