Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Male or female subjects = 18 years of age . 2.History of ASCVD or ASCVD-risk equivalents (symptomatic atherosclerosis, Type 2 diabetes, familial hypercholesterolemia, including subjects whose 10-year risk of a cardiovascular [CV] event assessed by Framingham Risk Score * or equivalent has a target LDL-C of 30 mL/min by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using standardized local clinical methodology. 6. Subjects on statins should be receiving the maximally tolerated dose (investigator’s discretion). 7. Subjects on lipid-lowering therapies (such as statins and/or ezetimibe) should be on a stable dose for =30 days before screening with no planned medication or dose change during study participation. 8. Willing and able to give written and informed consent before initiation of any study-related procedures and willing to comply with all required study procedures. *By Framingham Risk Score > 20% Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 240 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 240
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Any uncontrolled or serious disease, or any medical or surgical condition, that may either interfere with participation in the clinical study, and/or put the subject at significant risk (according to investigator’s [or delegate] judgment) if he/she participates in the clinical study. 2. An underlying known disease, or surgical, physical, or medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator (or delegate) might interfere with interpretation of the clinical study results 3. New York Heart Failure Association (NYHA) class II, III or IV heart failure or last known left ventricular ejection fraction 180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >110 mmHg prior to randomization despite anti-hypertensive therapy. 8. Poorly controlled Type II diabetes, ie, glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) >10.0% prior to randomization. 9. Active liver disease defined as any known current infectious, neoplastic, or metabolic pathology of the liver or unexplained alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), elevation > 2x the upper limit of normal (ULN), or total bilirubin elevation > 1.5x ULN at screening confirmed by a repeat measurement at least one week apart. 10. Serious comorbid disease in which the life expectancy of the subject is shorter than the duration of the trial (eg, acute systemic infection, cancer, or other serious illnesses). This includes all cancers with the exception of treated basal-cell carcinoma occurring >5 years before screening. 11. Females who are pregnant or nursing, or who are of childbearing potential and unwilling to use at least two methods of contraception (oral contraceptives, barrier methods, approved contraceptive implant, long- term injectable contraception, intrauterine device or tubal ligation)**. Women who are >2 years postmenopausal defined as =1 year since last menstrual period AND if < 55 years old with a negative pregnancy test within 24 hours of randomization or surgically sterile are exempt from this exclusion. 12. Males who are unwilling to use an acceptable method of birth control during the entire study period (ie, condom with spermicide). 13. Known history of alcohol and/or drug abuse within the last 5 years. 14. Treatment with other investigational medicinal products or devices within 30 days or five half lives, whichever is longer. 15. Use of other investigational medicinal products or devices during the course of the study. 16. Any condition that according to the investigator could interfere with the conduct of the study, such as but not limited to: a. Inappropriate for this study, including subjects who are unable to communicate or to cooperate with the investigator. b. Unable to understand the protocol requirements, instructions and study-related restrictions, the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study (including subjects whose cooperation is doubtful due to drug abuse or alcohol dependency).
