Official title
Evolocumab in Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Double-Blind Randomized Placebo Controlled Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Vascular and myocardial inflammation are significantly increased in Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) patients, are closely correlated to LDL-C levels, and are associated with these adverse consequences in the post-ACS patient population. Serum proprotein convertase subtilisin/kerin type 9 (PCSK9) levels are also increased in ACS, may raise LDL-C, and the investigators' pre-clinical studies indicate that PCSK9 is also a potent inducer of vascular inflammation. The addition of the PCSK9 antibody evolocumab, currently approved to lower LDL-C in certain patient populations, to current medical therapies would appear to be of particular benefit in an important subset of ACS patients, those with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) by markedly reducing LDL-C, stabilizing vulnerable plaque, and limiting inflammation-associated myocardial cell loss and resultant dysfunction.
