Mechanistic Clinical Trial of PCSK9 Inhibition for AAA

Sponsor: University of Pennsylvania

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this mechanistic clinical trial is to assess whether lowering the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in the blood with the injections of the medication evolocumab will have any effect on the tissue or cells of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Researchers will compare participants receiving evolocumab injections to participants receiving placebo injections to see how the tissue and cells of the aorta are affected by changes in LDL-C levels.

Official title: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Mechanistic Clinical Trial of PCSK9 Inhibition With Evolocumab in Patients Undergoing Open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair
