Mechanistic Clinical Trial of PCSK9 Inhibition for AAA
Sponsor: University of Pennsylvania
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.
