First seen Feb 06, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding a PCSK9 inhibitor (a powerful cholesterol-lowering drug) to standard treatment can reduce major heart problems like heart attacks, strokes, or death in people with high-risk plaque in their coronary arteries. About 3,600 adults with specific plaque features seen on a CT scan will be enrolled. The goal is to see if the extra medication helps control the disease better than standard care alone.
