简要总结
A multicenter cohort study
详细描述
The trial is to evaluate the effect of ultra-intensive lipid-lowering therapy (PCSK9 inhibitor + rosuvastatin or atorvastatin, with/without ezetimibe) versus conventional lipid-lowering therapy (rosuvastatin or atorvastatin, with/without ezetimibe) on changes in atherosclerotic burden in patients with carotid artery stenosis.

入选标准
- •Clinical inclusion criteria:
- •Age ≥ 18 years.
- •Asymptomatic mild-to-moderate carotid artery stenosis confirmed by CTA, MRA, ultrasound, or DSA, with no anticipated need for surgical intervention.
- •Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score ≤ 2
- •Signed informed consent form obtained from the subject
- •Ultrasound Inclusion Criteria:
- •Carotid ultrasound showing a plaque burden rate ≥30% at the most stenotic cross-sectional site of the carotid artery (common carotid artery or proximal C1 segment of the internal carotid artery).
排除标准
- •Non-atherosclerotic carotid stenosis, including arterial dissection, Takayasu arteritis, radiation-induced vasculopathy, fibromuscular dysplasia, neurofibromatosis, suspected vasospasm, or recanalized vascular embolism.
- •Known cardioembolic sources: mitral stenosis, mechanical heart valve, infective endocarditis, intracardiac thrombus/vegetation, myocardial infarction within 3 months, dilated cardiomyopathy, chronic/paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. (Confound ASCVD outcome assessment.)
- •History of cerebrovascular, coronary, or peripheral arterial endovascular intervention within 30 days before enrollment or anticipated surgery within the next 6 months.
- •History of ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or intracranial hemorrhage (parenchymal, subarachnoid, subdural, or epidural) before enrollment.
- •Pre-existing intracranial tumor, cerebral aneurysm, or arteriovenous malformation.
- •History of thromboembolic diseases (pulmonary embolism, mesenteric embolism, lower limb arterial embolism) or coronary atherosclerotic heart disease.
- •Severe neurological deficits impairing independent living; diagnosed dementia/psychiatric disorders interfering with follow-up; or life expectancy <3 years due to other conditions.
- •Severe/unstable comorbidities: Severe heart failure (NYHA Class III/IV or LVEF <30%), Renal failure (serum creatinine >264 μmol/L or creatinine clearance <0.6 mL/s), Severe hepatic dysfunction (ALT/AST >3× upper limit of normal), CK >5× upper limit of normal, Active malignancy.
- •Use of PCSK9 inhibitors or CETP inhibitors within 24 weeks before enrollment.
- •The subjects have taken strong inhibitor drugs of cytochrome P-450 3A4 (including: adagrasib, atazanavir, ceritinib, clarithromycin, darunavir, idelalisib, indinavir, itraconazole, ketoconazole, levonorgestrel, lonafarnib, lopinavir, mifepristone, nefazodone, nelfinavir, nirmatrelvir/ritonavir, Viekira Pak (ombitasvir, paritaprevir, and ritonavir tablets), mbitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir, posaconazole, co-formulations containing ritonavir and ritonavir itself, saquinavir, erythromycin, tucatinib, voriconazole) within one month before randomization, or may require such drugs during the study period.
- •Pregnancy or lactation.
- •Concurrent participation in another trial that may affect outcome assessment.
- •Other situations that the investigator believes may cause significant harm to the subjects if they participate in this trial.
- •Situations where the investigator believes there are other vascular lesions that may lead to short - term ischemic events and surgeries.
