Official title
The Effects of Evolocumab on Endothelial and Inflammatory Biocellular Markers in Patients With Diabetes and Atherosclerotic Vascular Disease (METCHNIKOFF)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Experimental models have linked lipid lowering therapies with systemic inflammation; however, relatively little is known about this network in clinical populations and specifically how it changes with PCSK9 inhibition. The eligible subjects will have 6 visits in 13 to 16 weeks and will have Repatha/placebo 140mg subcutaneous every 4 weeks for 3 times since randomization visit, blood tests will be done in each visit to evaluate the effects of evolocumab upon biocellular markers potentially altered by PCSK9 inhibition in a population of type 2 diabetes patients with microvascular dysfunction. Primary Aims: Determine the ACUTE and SHORT-TERM effects of PCSK9 inhibition with evolocumab on biocellular markers of inflammation, immune mediated thrombosis and rheology. The data from this trial will be used to support a clinical trial to assess the role of PCSK9 inhibition in type 2 diabetes patients with cardiac microvascular dysfunction. Secondary Aims: 1. To define the association between PCSK 9 concentrations and immune-related phenotype. 2. To define the association between Lp(a) concentrations, oxidized phospholipids (OxPL), ApoB, biocellular markers of inflammation, tissue factor and immunothrombosis.
