i) Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) requiring continuous medical treatment
ii) Age ≥ 65 years
iii) Symptomatic ASCVD in at least two vascular beds (e.g., coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, or PAD)
iv) History of recurrent ASCVD events (e.g., multiple ACS, ischemic stroke, PAD events, or comorbid events)
v) Previous amputation above the ankle due to PAD
vi) Previous diagnosis of non-end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 [CKD-EPI formula; Delgado et al 2022, Inker et al 2021])
vii) High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) ≥ 2.0 mg/L, but asymptomatic and without other cause (e.g., infection)
viii) Lp(a) ≥ 25 mg/dL (≥ 60 nmol/L)
(b) Subjects at high risk of first ASCVD event: Male subjects aged ≥ 50 years or female subjects aged ≥ 55 years at the time of ICF signing, 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) Clinically significant atherosclerotic arterial disease meeting any of the following criteria:
a) Coronary artery calcification (CAC) score ≥ 300
b) Underwent percutaneous revascularization for atherosclerosis at any time prior to screening
c) Underwent coronary artery bypass surgery > 5 years prior to screening
d) Ankle-brachial index (ABI) ≤ 0.85
e) ≥ 2 coronary artery regions or ≥ 2 ≥50% stenosis in one vascular bed (coronary arteries, carotid arteries, lower extremities).
ii) High-risk type 1 or type 2 diabetes with manifestations of terminal organ disease (diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy, or ABI exceeding the normal range [0.9 to 1.4]).
iii) Documented, clinically minor atherosclerosis: CAC score of 100 to <300 or not meeting the criteria in section i) above. iv) Subjects meeting criteria ii) and iii) must possess at least one of the following additional risk factors (a to f):
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
c) Age ≥ 65 years
d) T2DM (if meeting clinically mild atherosclerosis criteria iii)
e) Lp(a) ≥ 125 nmol/L
f) hs-CRP ≥ 2.0 mg/L
2. Subjects should receive the maximum tolerated dose of lipid-lowering therapy, including the maximum tolerated dose of statins.
(a) Subjects deemed intolerant of high-intensity statins by their attending physician (typically atorvastatin ≥ 40 mg once daily or rosuvastatin ≥ 20 mg once daily, as per guidelines) may be included if they are receiving low- or moderate-intensity statin therapy.
(b) Subjects not currently receiving any statins must have documented adverse reactions to at least two different statins, including at the lowest standard dose of one, or be using a long-term medication that would preclude the use of statins (based on the relevant statin's prescribing information).
(c) Subjects' lipid-lowering therapy must have reached a stable dose (> 28 days) prior to screening.
Sex and Contraception/Barrier Method Requirements
3. Male and/or female as designated at birth, including all gender identities.
4. Fertility-prone female participants who have sexual intercourse with unsterilized male partners must use an established highly effective method of contraception from the start of screening until the end of the trial, and should continue using a highly effective method for at least 10 days after the last dose of trial treatment. A highly effective method of contraception is defined as one with a failure rate of <1% per year when used consistently and correctly. Such methods include:
- Systemic hormonal contraceptives associated with ovulation suppression (oral/percutaneous/injectable/implantable/vaginal)
- Intrauterine devices/intrauterine hormone-releasing systems
- Bilateral tubal ligation/partner vasectomy. Complete abstinence is an acceptable method, provided it is the participant's usual lifestyle (defined as avoiding sexual intercourse with the opposite sex throughout the trial treatment-related risk period).
Unacceptable methods of contraception include periodic abstinence (e.g., rhythm method, ovulation method, sympathobasic temperature method, post-ovulation method), withdrawal (coitus interruptus), spermicide-only methods, and lactational amenorrhea.
5. Infertile female subjects are defined as women who have undergone permanent sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral salpingectomy) or are postmenopausal. A woman is considered postmenopausal if she has not menstruated for 12 months or longer after stopping exogenous hormone therapy. Postmenopausal status may also be confirmed using high FSH concentrations within the postmenopausal range, depending on the specific analytical method used. At least two FSH concentrations (at least 4 weeks apart) should be within the postmenopausal range. If hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is discontinued, the first of two consecutive FSH concentration measurements should be performed at least 6 weeks after HRT discontinuation.
Informed Consent
6. Able to provide signed subject consent forms (as described in Appendix A), including compliance with the requirements and limitations set forth in the ICF and this program.
7. Subjects must provide informed consent before commencing any trial-related procedures and agree to comply with all necessary trial procedures.
Exclusion Criteria
Medical Conditions
1. Having any underlying known disease or condition within the 12 months prior to randomization, including homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, or having undergone low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or plasmapheresis, which the trial administrator deems may interfere with the interpretation of clinical trial results.

3. Having a coronary artery calcification score of zero or a coronary computed tomography angiography showing no atherosclerosis within the past 3 years.
4. An eGFR calculated at screening time < 15 mL/min/1.73 m2 (CKD-EPI formula; Delgado et al 2022, Inker et al 2021). 5. Poorly controlled severe hypertension: Despite receiving antihypertensive therapy, systolic blood pressure >160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >110 mmHg (based on the average of 3 consecutive readings) measured at any screening/rescreening follow-up or randomization.
6. Concomitant severe non-cardiovascular (CV) disease with an estimated life expectancy of <2 years.
