|---|---|
| Main Objective: To demonstrate the superiority of ziltivekimab 15 mg s.c. once-monthly in reducing the risk of MACE (as defined by the primary endpoint) compared to placebo, both added to standard of care, in participants with established ASCVD, CKD and systemic inflammation.;Secondary Objective: - To demonstrate the superiority of ziltivekimab 15 mg s.c. once-monthly compared to placebo, both added to standard of care, in participants with established ASCVD, CKD and systemic inflammation, with regards to the following: •reducing the risk of expanded MACE (as defined by the confirmatory secondary endpoint) •reducing the risk of heart failure (as defined by the confirmatory secondary endpoint) •reducing all-cause mortality •delaying the progression of CKD (as defined by the confirmatory secondary endpoint) - To compare the effects of ziltivekimab 15 mg s.c. once-monthly versus placebo, both added to standard of care, in participants with established ASCVD, CKD and systemic inflammation, with regards to the following: •reducing systemic inflammation (defined by the secondary and exploratory endpoints) •improving patient reported outcomes (PRO) •not increasing severe infections (as defined by secondary safety endpoints);Primary end point(s): 1. Time to first occurrence of 3-point MACE, a composite endpoint consisting of: - CV death ( Based on EAC-confirmed events, including undetermined cause of death) - non-fatal MI ( Based on EAC-confirmed events, acute MI only) - non-fatal stroke ( Based on EAC-confirmed events, including ischaemic, haemorrhagic and undetermined stroke);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. From randomisation (month 0) to end-of-study (up to 48 months (Maximum treatment duration is dependent on event rates and is estimated to be approximately 48 months including a 3-month follow-up period) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1. Time to first occurrence of expanded MACE, a composite endpoint consisting of: - CV death (Based on EAC-confirmed events, including undetermined cause of death) - non-fatal MI ( Based on EAC-confirmed events, acute MI only) - non-fatal stroke ( Based on EAC-confirmed events, including ischaemic, haemorrhagic and undetermined stroke) - hospitalisation for unstable angina pectoris requiring urgent coronary revascularisation ( Based on EAC-confirmed events) 2. Number of hospitalisations for heart failure (Based on EAC-confirmed events) or urgent heart failure visit (Based on EAC-confirmed events) or CV deaths (Based on EAC-confirmed events, including undetermined cause of death) 3. Time to occurrence of all-cause mortality (Based on EAC-confirmed events) 4. Time to first occurrence of a composite CKD endpoint consisting of: - onset of persistent (“Persistent” is defined as 2 consecutive samples meeting the criteria. The 2 samples must be at least 4 weeks apart) greater than or equal to 40% reduction in eGFR (CKD-EPI) compared with baseline - kidney failure defined as: a) death from kidney failure (Based on EAC-confirmed events, defined as a non-CV death that is due to the direct consequences of severely impaired kidney function. Undetermined cause of death in participants with eGFR below15 mL/min/1.73 m^2 will be considered kidney death) b) onset of persistent (“Persistent” is defined as 2 consecutive samples meeting the criteria. The 2 samples must be at least 4 weeks apart) eGFR below 15 mL/min/1.73 m^2 (CKD-EPI) c) initiation of chronic kidney replacement therapy (maintenance dialysis or kidney transplantation) (Based on EAC-confirmed events) 5. Time to first occurrence of each of the individual components (Based on EAC-confirmed events) of the expanded MACE endpoint and the kidney composite endpoint 6. Time to first occurrence of MIs (acute MI only) (fatal and non-fatal) (Based on EAC-confirmed events) 7. Time to first occurrence | — |
