简要总结
The aim of the study is to assess the effect of evolocumab on coronary plaque morphology using intravascular imaging and gene expression analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in patients with stable CAD on maximally tolerated statin therapy. The study combines multi-modality intravascular imaging approaches and transcriptomic based machine learning algorithms to uncover molecular mechanisms responsible for the beneficial changes in atherosclerotic lesions of patients treated with evolocumab. The primary end-points are the changes from baseline to follow-up in (1) the minimal fibrous cap thickness (FCT) assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and (2) maxLCBI4mm assessed by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) after 26 weeks of evolocumab. The secondary endpoints are the changes in (1) the maximal lipid arc, lipid length, lipid volume index, macrophage accumulation and calcification by OCT; (2) PAV and TAV defined by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and (3) Changes in PBMC gene expression.
详细描述
The single center single arm study will be performed in the Cardiac Catheterization laboratory of the Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, NY. After informed consent, patients undergoing clinically indicated elective PCI with a non-obstructive lesion and optimal background statin therapy will be eligible screening. Non-obstructive lesions (30-50% stenosis) identified by angiography in a non-culprit vessel with lipid-rich plaque will be studied. Subjects will receive evolocumab (Repatha) 140 mg subcutaneously every 2 weeks for 26 weeks. Serial NIRS/IVUS and OCT imaging will be performed in the non-obstructive lesions, first during PCI and subsequently after 26 weeks. A total of 25ml of blood will be drawn from the sheath during angiography for transcriptomic profiling of PBMC.

研究组 & 干预措施
Treatment
Evolocumab subcutaneously administered 140 mg every 2 weeks for 26 weeks
干预措施: Evolocumab Injections (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Number of Participants With FCT <65 µm
时间窗: Baseline and 26 Weeks
Change in Minimal Fibrous Cap Thickness (FCT)
时间窗: Baseline and 26 Weeks
Changes in the minimal Minimal Fibrous Cap Thickness (FCT) is assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging and measured in microns. FCT describes plaque morphology composition.
Number of Participants With Increased Fibrous Cap
时间窗: 26 weeks
Change in maxNIRS4mm
时间窗: Baseline and 26 Weeks
Changes in maximal lipid-core burden index within 4 mm (maxLCBI4mm). LCBI4mm is assessed by NIRS and calculated as the fraction of yellow pixels on a chemogram multiplied by 1000. Each pixel on the chemogram represents a probability of lipid presence in the given region; pixels are color-coded on a red-to-yellow color scale, with the low probability of lipid shown as red and the high probability of lipid shown as yellow. Maximal lipid-core burden index is calculated as a fraction of yellow pixels (representing lipid) obtained from the NIRS chemogram multiplied by 1000. It ranges is from 0 to 1000 and represents the amount of lipid in the investigated segment with "0" corresponding to no lipid and "1000" representing all lipid lesion.
Number of Participants With Decreased maxLCBI4mm
时间窗: 26 Weeks
