Study of Olpasiran to Prevent First Major Heart and Blood Vessel Events in People with High Lipoproteina Levels Aged 50 to 105

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating olpasiran, compared to a placebo, to see how it affects the risk of coronary heart disease death, heart attacks, or urgent coronary revascularization in people at risk for their first major cardiovascular event who have high levels of lipoproteina. This Phase 3 study focuses on participants aged 50 to 105 years with multiple cardiovascular risk factors or evidence of atherosclerosis. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either olpasiran or a placebo through subcutaneous injections. The study is double-blind, so neither participants nor researchers know who receives the active drug or placebo. Treatments and evaluations will continue for up to approximately 6.2 years. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for heart-related events such as heart attacks, cardiovascular death, strokes, and coronary revascularizations. Researchers will also measure changes in lipoproteina levels at baseline and at Week 48, along with tracking adverse events. The total participation duration can extend up to about 6.2 years, with ongoing assessments to evaluate the treatments effect over time.
