E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess the effectiveness of treatment with evolocumab plus routine lipid management compared with routine lipid management alone when administered in the acute setting to reduce myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, arterial revascularization and all-cause death in subjects hospitalized for an acute myocardial infarction (NSTEMI and STEMI). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate the effectiveness of treatment with evolocumab plus routine lipid management vs routine lipid management alone when administered in the acute setting on percent reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) at 12 weeks and 52 weeks following initiation. To evaluate the effectiveness of treatment with evolocumab plus routine lipid management vs routine lipid management alone when administered in the acute setting to reduce myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, arterial revascularization, and cardiovascular death in subjects hospitalized for an acute myocardial infarction (NSTEMI and STEMI). To evaluate the effect of treatment with evolocumab plus routine lipid management vs routine lipid management alone on the risk of: - first myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, arterial revascularization, and all-cause death. |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Subjects are eligible to be included in the study only if all of the following criteria apply: - Subject has provided informed consent/assent prior to initiation of any study specific activities/procedures. OR - Subject’s legally authorized representative has provided informed consent prior to any study-specific activities/procedures being initiated when the subject has any kind of condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may compromise the ability of the subject to give written informed consent.
- Age ≥ 18 years (eg, if no upper age limit). - Hospitalized for primary reason of NSTEMI or STEMI due to presumed atherosclerotic disease. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Disease Related - Patients requiring invasive hemodynamic and/or vasopressor/inotropic support at the time of screening - Patients with elevated biomarkers of myocardial injury due to secondary/nonatherosclerotic etiology (eg, sepsis, atrial fibrillation, vasospasm, decompensated heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, stress induced cardiomyopathy).).
Other Medical Conditions - History or evidence of clinically significant disease (eg, malignancy, respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal or psychiatric disease) or unstable disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator(s), Amgen physician or designee would pose a risk to the patient’s safety or interfere with the study assessments, procedures, completion, or result in a life expectancy of less than 1 year.
Prior/Concomitant Therapy - Previously received or receiving any therapy to inhibit PCSK9 in the following timeframe: • Evolocumab, alirocumab, or any other monoclonal antibody against PCSK9 within 3 months prior to screening. • Inclisiran within 6 months prior to screening.
Prior/Concurrent Clinical Study Experience Currently receiving treatment in another investigational (not approved for any use in the country the subject is to be randomized) device or drug study, or less than 30 days since ending treatment on another investigational device or drug study(ies). Other investigational procedures while participating in this study are excluded.
Other Exclusions - Female subjects of childbearing potential unwilling to use protocol specified method of contraception see Appendix 5 (Section 11.5) during treatment and for an additional 15 weeks after the last dose of investigational product. - Female subjects who are breastfeeding or who plan to breastfeed while on study through 15 weeks after the last dose of investigational product. - Female subjects planning to become pregnant while on study through 15 weeks after the last dose of investigational product. - Female subjects of childbearing potential with a positive pregnancy test assessed at screening by a highly sensitive urine or serum pregnancy test. - Subject has known sensitivity to any of the products or components to be administered during dosing. - Subject likely to not be available to complete all protocol-required study visits or procedures, and/or to comply with all required study procedures (eg, Clinical Outcome Assessments) to the best of the subject and investigator’s knowledge.
History or evidence of any other clinically significant disorder, condition or disease (with the exception of those outlined above) that, in the opinion of the investigator or Amgen physician, if consulted, would pose a risk to subject safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures or completion.
