NCT ID NCT06863545
First seen Feb 06, 2026 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding a PCSK9 inhibitor (a powerful cholesterol-lowering drug) to standard treatment can prevent major heart problems like heart attacks, strokes, or death in people with high-risk coronary plaques seen on CT scans. About 3,600 adults with at least one severely narrowed or high-risk plaque in their heart arteries will be followed for years. The goal is to see if the extra medication reduces serious cardiovascular events better than standard care alone.
