Brief Summary

The primary objective was to evaluate the effect of PCSK9 inhibitors in addition to the background lipid-modifying therapy (LMT), compared with standard LMT in terms of clinical outcomes in patients with coronary CT angiography (CCTA)-detected high-risk plaques.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subject must be ≥ 18 years. 2. Patients with at least one target lesion meet CCTA-detected plaque features of the following: 1. Degree of stenosis ≥ 50% or plaque burden ≥ 70% 2. At least 2 of the following high-risk plaque features: i. Low-attenuation plaque ii. Positive remodeling iii. Napkin-ring sign iv. Spotty calcium 3. The target lesion is located at the proximal or mid segment of left anterior descending artery, left circumflex artery or right coronary artery. 4. Subject is able to confirm his/her understanding of the risks, benefits, and treatment alternatives of receiving study-related treatment. He/she or his/her legally authorized representative provides written informed consent prior to any study-related procedure. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Target lesions underwent or planned to revascularization. 2. Patients with acute coronary syndrome. 3. New York Heart Association class III or IV, or last known left ventricular ejection fraction \< 30%. 4. Uncontrolled or recurrent ventricular tachycardia. 5. Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. 6. Active liver disease or hepatic dysfunction. 7. Failed CCTA plaque analysis. 8. Non-cardiac co-morbid conditions with life expectancy \< 2 years. 9. Pregnant and/or lactating women. 10. Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to statin or PCSK9 inhibitors.
