Inclution Criteria
Type of Participant and Disease Characteristics
1 Meets one of the following:
(a) Participants with history of an ASCVD event: Participants ≥ 18 years of age at the
time of signing the ICF with a history of ASCVD defined as ACS within 1 to
12 months prior to randomisation, or large artery ischaemic stroke suspected to be due
to atherosclerotic vascular disease within 1 to 12 months prior to randomisation, or
revascularisation for symptomatic lower limb PAD, and LDL-C ≥ 60 mg/dL
(≥ 1.55 mmol/L).
Additional risk factors based on the level of the screening LDL-C:
o Participants with an LDL-C ≥ 60 mg/dL (≥ 1.55 mmol/L) and < 75 mg/dL
(< 1.9 mmol/L) must have BOTH an Lp(a) ≥ 25 mg/dL (≥ 60 nmol/L) AND at
least one of the other additional risk factors (i to vii) below.
o Participants with an LDL-C ≥ 75 mg/dL (≥ 1.9 mmol/L) need to have at least one
of the other additional risk factors (i to viii) below.
i) T2DM requiring ongoing medical therapy
ii) Age ≥ 65 years
iii) Symptomatic ASCVD in at least 2 vascular beds (eg, coronary artery disease,
cerebrovascular disease, or PAD)
iv) History of recurrent ASCVD events (eg, multiple ACS, ischaemic strokes, PAD
events, or a combination)
v) Previous above ankle amputation due to PAD
vi) Previous diagnosis of non-end stage CKD (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2
[CKD-EPI formula; Delgado et al 2022, Inker et al 2021])
vii) hs-CRP ≥ 2.0 mg/L while asymptomatic and without other explanation (eg,
infection)
viii) Lp(a) ≥ 25 mg/dL (≥ 60 nmol/L)
(b) Participants at increased risk of a first ASCVD event: Male participant ≥ 50 years
of age or female participant ≥ 55 years of age at the time of signing the ICF with
LDL-C ≥ 100 mg/dL (≥ 2.6 mmol/L) and diagnostic evidence of at least one of the
following disease categories (i, ii, or iii):
i) Significant atherosclerotic artery disease with any one of the following:
a) CAC score ≥ 300
b) Prior arterial revascularisation for atherosclerosis by percutaneous
intervention any time prior to screening
c) Prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery > 5 years prior to screening
d) ABI ≤ 0.85
e) ≥ 50% stenosis in ≥ 2 coronary artery territories, or in ≥ 2 vascular beds
(coronary, carotid, lower extremity).
ii) High-risk Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus with manifestation of end-organ
disease (diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy or an ABI outside the
normal range [0.9 to 1.4])
iii) Documented atherosclerosis of less significance: CAC score 100 to < 300 or not
meeting criteria above in i).
For ii) and iii), participants need to have at least one of the additional risk factors (a to
f) below:
a) CKD with eGFR ≤ 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 [CKD-EPI formula; Delgado et al
2022, Inker et al 2021])
b) Current tobacco use
Exclusion Criteria
Medical Conditions
1 Any underlying known disease, or condition including homozygous familial
hypercholesterolaemia, or LDL or plasma apheresis within 12 months prior to
randomisation, that, in the opinion of the investigator, might interfere with the
interpretation of the clinical study results.
2 Any revascularisation procedure planned within the next 3 months.
3 Available imaging assessment within the last 3 years showing either coronary calcium
score of zero, or a coronary computed tomography angiography with no atherosclerosis.
4 Calculated eGFR < 15 mL/min/1.73 m2 (CKD-EPI formula; Delgado et al 2022, Inker et
al 2021) at screening.
5 Uncontrolled severe hypertension: systolic BP > 160 mmHg or diastolic BP > 110 mmHg
as measured at any screening/rescreening visits or at randomisation despite
antihypertensive therapy (based on the mean of the 3 consecutive readings).
6 Severe concomitant non-CV disease with estimated life expectancy < 2 years.
7 Malignancy (except non-melanoma skin cancers, cervical in-situ carcinoma) within the
last 5 years.
8 Any laboratory values with the following deviations at screening:
− AST or ALT > 3 × ULN
− TBL > 2 × ULN (except for participants with Gilbert's syndrome where TBL
3 × ULN is acceptable provided direct bilirubin < 1.5 × ULN)
− Fasting triglycerides ≥ 400 mg/dL (≥ 4.52 mmol/L)
− Creatine kinase > 5 × ULN
− Urine albumin/creatinine ratio ≥ 500 mg/g
9 Currently pregnant (confirmed with positive pregnancy test) or breast-feeding.
10 Known history of alcohol and/or drug abuse within the last 5 years.
11 Recipient of any major organ transplant, eg, lung, liver, heart, bone marrow, renal.
12 Acute ischaemic ASCVD event within 7 days prior to screening.
13 QTcF > 470 msec at randomisation, or with family history of long QT syndrome.
14 High-degree AV-block II-III or sinus node dysfunction with clinically significant sinus
pause untreated with pacemaker.
15 Heart failure with NYHA Class IV.
16 Ventricular arrhythmia requiring treatment.
17 Previously diagnosed hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy or any infiltrative
cardiomyopathy such as sarcoidosis or amyloidosis.
18 Participants with a history of hypersensitivity to drugs with a similar chemical structure.
19 Any uncontrolled or serious disease, or any medical (eg, known major active infection
[eg, hepatitis B and C] or major CV, haematological, renal, metabolic, gastrointestinal,
respiratory, hepatic, or endocrine dysfunction) or surgical condition that, in the opinion of
the investigator, may either interfere with participation in the clinical study and/or put the
participant at significant risk.
20 Uncontrolled T2DM defined as HbA1c ≥ 9.5% at screening.
21 Inadequately treated hypothyroidism defined as TSH > 1.5 × ULN at screening or
participants whose thyroid replacement therapy was initiated or modified within the last
3 months prior to screening.
