Study summary

This placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, Phase 3 study is being conducted in adult participants with high-risk atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) who are not adequately controlled by their maximally tolerated lipid-modifying therapy, to assess the impact of the obicetrapib 10 mg + ezetimibe 10 mg FDC daily on coronary plaque and inflammation characteristics, evaluated using cardiovascular computed tomography angiography (CCTA).

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Fasting serum LDL-C ≥70 mg/dL (≥1.81 mmol/L)
  • Evaluable non-calcified plaque of at least 75 mm3 in the major epicardial coronary arteries
  • 18-40, inclusive
  • Max tolerated lipid modifying therapy
  • Estimated ≥40 mL/min/1.73 m2

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • ≥10.0% (≥0.100 fraction) or a fasting glucose ≥270 mg/dL (≥15.0 mmol/L) at Screening
  • for CCTA
  • History of coronary artery bypass graft
  • Active liver disease
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

HbA1c

A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. • To evaluate the effect of obicetrapib 10 mg + ezetimibe 10 mg fixed dose combination (FDC) daily on total non-calcified coronary atherosclerotic plaque volume (NCPV) at 18 months.

    Total plaque comparison measured by CCTA

    Time frame: 18 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Absolute change from baseline to 18 months in total NCPV in all major epicardial coronary arteries, as measured by CCTA, in participants treated with obicetrapib 10 mg + ezetimibe 10 mg FDC therapy compared with placebo.

    Total change in NCPV as measured by CCTA

    Time frame: 18 Months

  2. Percent change from baseline to 18 months in LDL-C in participants treated with obicetrapib 10 mg + ezetimibe 10 mg FDC therapy compared to placebo.

    Change in LDL-C levels measured by central lab

    Time frame: 18 Months

  3. Percent change from baseline to 18 months in non-calcified coronary atherosclerotic plaque volume in the most diseased coronary segment (NCPVMD), as measured by CCTA, in participants treated with FDC therapy vs placebo

    Percent change in plaque volume in most diseased coronary arteries measured by CCTA

    Time frame: 18 Months

  4. Absolute change from baseline to 18 months in NCPVMD, as measured by CCTA, in participants treated with obicetrapib 10 mg + ezetimibe 10 mg FDC therapy compared with placebo.

    Absolute change in plaque volume in most diseased coronary arteries measured by CCTA

    Time frame: 18 Months
