Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change in plaque to myocardium ratio (PMR) in the primary lesion measured by non-contrast T1-weighted cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging (change at study completion or discontinuation from baseline) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) Change in plaque to myocardium ratio (PMR) in all lesions measured by non-contrast T1-weighted cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging (change at study completion or discontinuation from baseline) 2) Percent change in plaque to myocardium ratio (PMR) in the primary lesion measured by non-contrast T1-weighted cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging (percent change at study completion or discontinuation from baseline) 3) Percent change in plaque to myocardium ratio (PMR) in all lesions measured by non-contrast T1-weighted cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging (percent change at study completion or discontinuation from baseline) 4) Changes in Hounsfield units, plaque volume, vessel area, and plaque area in the primary lesion measured by computed tomography angiography (CTA) (change at study completion or discontinuation from baseline) 5) Changes in Hounsfield units, plaque volume, vessel area, and plaque area in all lesions measured by computed tomography angiography (CTA) (change at study completion or discontinuation from baseline) 6) Percent changes in Hounsfield units, plaque volume, vessel area, and plaque area in the primary lesion measured by computed tomography angiography (CTA) (percent change at study completion or discontinuation from baseline) 7) Percent changes in Hounsfield units, plaque volume, vessel area, and plaque area in all lesions measured by computed tomography angiography (CTA) (percent change at study completion or discontinuation from baseline) | — |
