Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective is to assess if LDL-C lowering at 1 year with monthly subcutaneous (SC) evolocumab 420 mg for 1 year will result in a significant reduction of high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT), surrogate marker of myocyte injury and atherosclerosis progression, compared with current Standard of care (SOC) in subjects with elevated LDL-C, stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and stable heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).;Secondary Objective: To assess change of high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) after 6 months of treatment with monthly SC evolocumab 420 mg To assess change of NT-proBNP, ST2, and hs-CRP levels after 6 and 12 months of treatment with monthly SC evolocumab 420 mg To assess change of LDL, LDLR, HDL, and sPCSK9 levels after 6 and 12 months of treatment with monthly SC evolocumab 420 mg To evaluate change in exercise tolerance in patients with stable Heart Failure with reduced ejection fraction of ischemic etiology at 6 months and 1 year To evaluate change in quality of life Using Kansas city cardiomyopathy questionnaire (KCCQ) at 6 months and 1 year To evaluate the safety profile of evolocumab administered together with top of guideline-driven medical treatment Biomarkers will be used to elucidate the effects of evolocumab as well as to perform exploratory correlational analysis to assess their interactions and roles within the mediation of study-drug effects on cardiac remodeling.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint of this study is the change in hs-TnT levels at 1 year;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: at 1 year | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): • Change in Hs-TnT levels at 6 months • Change in NT-proBNP, ST2, and hs-CRP levels at 6 months and 1 year • Change in LDL, LDLR, HDL, and sPCSK9 levels at 6 months and 1 year • Change in 6 minutes walking test at 6 months and 1 year • Change in quality of life test (KCCQ) at 6 months and 1 year • Number and percentage of AEs;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: at 6 months and 1 year | — |
