Overview

This study aimed to investigate the impact of intensive cholesterol-lowering therapy (including evolocumab), drug treatment for high-risk plaques (Vulnerable plaques) with a high probability of developing acute coronary syndrome. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the change in the Lipid core burden index and compare the rate of cardiac events over 12 months following cholesterol therapy.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Over 19 years old
  2. Patients who agree to the study plan and clinical follow-up plan, voluntarily decide to participate in this study, and consent in writing to the consent to use information
  3. Patients who underwent NIRS-IVUS guided coronary stent surgery for acute coronary syndrome
  4. Patients who did not meet the LDL-Cholesterol level (<70mg/dL) even after receiving the maximum dose of combined cholesterol therapy for 2 months

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subjects with known hypersensitivity or contraindications to the following drugs or substances: heparin, aspirin, clopidogrel, ticagrelor, prasugrel, rosuvastatin, ezetimibe, evolocumab, lansoprazole, cobalt chromium, stainless steel nickel And contrast agents (however, even a subject who is hypersensitive to contrast agents can register if they can be controlled by steroids and pheniramine, except for known anaphylaxis.)
  2. Pregnant women, lactating women, or women of childbearing age who plan to become pregnant during this study
  3. Subjects who plan to have surgery to stop antiplatelet drugs within 12 months from registration
  4. Those whose surviving life is expected to be less than 1 year
  5. Subjects who visited the hospital due to psychogenic shock and are predicted to have low survival probability based on medical judgment
  6. Subjects participating in a randomized study on cholesterol therapy

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
