New drug combo may slash heart attacks in high-risk patients

NCT ID NCT06863545

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether adding a powerful cholesterol-lowering drug (PCSK9 inhibitor) to standard treatment can prevent heart attacks, strokes, and 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 will be followed to compare outcomes. The goal is to see if the extra medication offers better protection than standard therapy alone.
