Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the effect of evolocumab on arterial wall inflammation, as measured by percent change from baseline in target-to-background ratio of an index vessel by FDG-PET/CT at week 16 in subjects with baseline lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] = 50 mg/dL and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) = 100 mg/dL;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the effect of evolocumab on - Lp(a) - LDL-C - Apolipoprotein B (ApoB);Primary end point(s): Percent change from baseline in TBR within the MDS of the index vessel (right carotid, left carotid, or thoracic aorta) by FDG-PET/CT;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline, Week 16

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): [2EP-1] Percent change in Lp(a) [2EP-2] Percent change in LDL-C [2EP-3] Percent change in ApoB;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: [2EP-1] Baseline, Day 1, Week 8, Week 16 [2EP-2] Baseline, Day 1, Week 8, Week 16 [2EP-3] Baseline, Day 1, Week 8, Week 16
