Description

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is a chronic, life-threatening condition caused by the build-up of plaque in the arteries, leading to reduced blood flow. This can result in heart attacks, strokes, and poor circulation—often with lasting consequences.

Even with today’s treatments, such as statins and other cholesterol-lowering medications, many people still have high levels of LD (“bad”) cholesterol, putting them at continued risk of serious cardiovascular events.

Living with ASCVD can mean ongoing medical care, limited physical activity, and an increased risk of unexpected health emergencies. For those who have already experienced a heart attack, stroke, or related surgery—or who are considered high risk—proactive management is essential.

This study is evaluating an investigational medication that may further lower LDL Cholesterol and help reduce the risk of future cardiovascular events when taken alongside your current cholesterol-lowering therapy. 

Researchers hope this medication will offer an additional layer of protection beyond what current treatments provide.

By taking part, you’ll be helping to advance scientific understanding and contribute to research that could improve outcomes for millions of people with or at risk for cardiovascular disease.

What to expect

If you qualify and choose to participate, you’ll be randomly assigned to receive either the investigational medication or a placebo (an inactive tablet)—taken once daily alongside your current cholesterol-lowering medications.

Throughout the study, you’ll attend scheduled clinic visits where our experienced team will monitor your heart health and general wellbeing. 

These visits will include:

  • Blood tests
  • Vital sign measurements
  • Heart health assessments (e.g., ECGs)
  • Questionnaires about your lifestyle and health

Our clinical team will closely track your safety and progress every step of the way.

Why Participate?

  • Access expert care and regular heart health monitoring
  • Contribute to research that may lead to new treatment options
  • Help advance care for people with ASCVD worldwide
  • All study-related care and medications provided at no cost
  • Eligible participants will receive compensation for time and travel
