New drug aims to shrink heart plaque in australian trial
NCT ID NCT06700720
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new medicine called YN001 in people with coronary atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries in the heart). The goal is to see if YN001 can reduce plaque buildup in the arteries when added to standard care. About 24 adults in Australia with at least one blocked artery will receive the drug intravenously. The study focuses on safety and changes in plaque seen on CT scans.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Fully understand the purposes, features, and methods of the study, and sign the ICF before performing any assessment. 2. Male or female Australia patients between 18 and 75 years. 3. Patients diagnosed with coronary atherosclerosis, and at least 1 vessel with diameter stenosis determined by coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA). 4. Female patients must be non-pregnant and non-lactating, and females of childbearing potential (including a female partner of a male patient) must agree to use 1 effective contraception method from the screening period to 3 months after receiving their last dose of the study drug. In addition, male patients must be willing to refrain from sperm donation during this time. 5. Willing and able to comply with the requirements of protocol to the best of the patient's and investigator's knowledge. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior treatment with other investigational drug(s) within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to randomization. 2. Previously received YN001. 3. Any type of vaccination within 4 weeks prior to randomization. 4. Contraindication for coronary CTA (e.g., known history of anaphylactic contrast reactions). 5. Multi-vessel severe disease. 6. Recent acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) occurred within 2 weeks prior to randomization. 7. Relapse and highly symptomatic arrhythmia uncontrolled by drugs within the past 3 months, such as ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. 8. Prior treatment with CABG, heart transplantation, SAVR/TAVR, etc., or CABG, heart transplantation, SAVR/TAVR, etc., is required or planned during the study. 9. PCI performed within 4 weeks prior to randomization or PCI is required or planned during study treatment. 10. New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV, or last known left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \<40%. 11. Recent clinically evident stroke occurred within 6 months prior to randomization (except for TIA). 12. Presenting with history of myopathy/myalgia, or susceptible to myopathy/rhabdomyolysis. 13. Known inflammatory bowel disease, ulcers, gastrointestinal or rectal bleeding within 6 months prior to randomization. 14. Evidence of major diseases that not recovered within 2 weeks prior to randomization, or major surgery is expected during the study. 15. Presenting with history of malignancy (except in patients who have been disease-free \>5 years; or whose only malignancy has been basal or squamous cell skin carcinoma). 16. Presence of any type of autoimmune disease. 17. Allergy to multiple food or drugs or known sensitivity to any components to be administered during dosing 18. Life expectancy is less than 1 year. 19. Systolic blood pressure of ≥150 mmHg at final screening despite antihypertensive therapy. 20. Known familial hypercholesterolemia 21. Triglycerides≥400 mg/dl (4.5 mmol/l) at final screening. 22. Active liver disease or hepatic dysfunction defined by any of ALT, AST, or total bilirubin \> 2 times upper limit of normal (ULN) at final screening. 23. Presence of renal insufficiency. 24. Untreated or inadequately treated hypothyroidism defined by thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) \> 1.5 times ULN at final screening. 25. Poorly controlled (defined by HbA1c \> 9%) type 2 diabetes mellitus. 26. A positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or positive antibody against hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV) or human immunodeficiency virus (anti-HIV), or positive treponema pallidum antibody (TP-Ab). 27. Current smoker who has smoked an average of≥5 cigarettes (or equivalent) per day over the preceding year. 28. Presence of any other diseases or conditions (apart from those outlined above) that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make it unsuitable for the patient to participate in this study.
