Summary

This is a phase IV, multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo- controlled study evaluating the effect of alirocumab on SVG atherosclerotic disease burden, as assessed by IVUS at baseline and following 78 weeks of treatment in subjects with at least one intermediate SVG lesion receiving optimal statin therapy. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 into 2 treatment groups: alirocumab 150 mg subcutaneously every 2 weeks or placebo subcutaneously every 2 weeks.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Nominal change in intermediate SVG lesion percent atheroma volume (PAV) from baseline to 78 weeks post randomization, as assessed by intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS).
Secondary outcome measures
Angiographic failure of target SVG lesion from baseline to 78 weeks.
Incidence of target SVG failure and major adverse cardiac events.
Nominal change in TAV and normalized TAV of an intermediate SVG lesion from baseline to 78 weeks
