CAPRA-EVO: a Randomized Serial PCCT Trial of Early Evolocumab After ACS

Sponsor: West China Hospital

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The CAPRA-EVO trial is a single-center, randomized, open-label study with blinded endpoint assessment comparing early evolocumab plus standard lipid-lowering therapy versus standard-of-care lipid-lowering therapy in patients with acute coronary syndrome after successful percutaneous coronary intervention. The study will use serial photon-counting coronary computed tomography angiography at baseline and 52 weeks to assess changes in non-culprit coronary plaque burden and stenosis severity. Secondary outcomes include changes in high-risk plaque features, lipid and inflammatory biomarkers, cardiovascular events, and safety outcomes. The trial aims to determine whether early intensive LDL-C lowering with evolocumab can reduce coronary plaque progression and support PCCT-CCTA as a noninvasive tool for monitoring atherosclerotic plaque dynamics.

Interventions

DRUG

Evolocumab

Evolocumab will be administered early after randomization in participants assigned to the experimental arm, in addition to standard-of-care lipid-lowering therapy. The treatment is intended to achieve intensive low-density lipoprotein cholesterol reduction and to evaluate its effect on coronary plaque progression or stabilization over 52 weeks.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Serial photon-counting coronary computed tomography angiography

All participants will undergo photon-counting coronary computed tomography angiography at baseline and at 52 weeks. Imaging will be used to assess changes in total atherosclerotic volume, stenosis severity, and high-risk plaque features in non-culprit coronary vessels.

DRUG

Standard Lipid-Lowering Therapy

Participants will receive guideline-directed standard lipid-lowering therapy according to contemporary clinical practice and investigator judgment.
