Zusammenfassung der Studie

The aim of this study is to investigate whether the investigational drug named TQJ230 can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with elevated lipoprotein(a), abbreviated as Lp(a), compared to placebo.

(BASEC)

Untersuchte Intervention

This study investigates whether the drug named TQJ230 is safe and can help patients with existing cardiovascular disease and elevated lipoprotein(a) to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, procedures to restore blood flow in the coronary arteries, or death. The investigational drug TQJ230 reduces the formation of a protein that is a component of Lp(a). This subsequently lowers the level of Lp(a) in the blood. TQJ230 is administered subcutaneously.

(BASEC)

Untersuchte Krankheit(en)

In cardiovascular disease, blood vessels can become blocked, which can lead to a heart attack or stroke, or to circulation problems in other vessels, e.g., in the legs. Lipoprotein(a), abbreviated as Lp(a), is a particle found in the blood that carries blood fats. When too much of it is present, it can increase the likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease. Patients who have already had a heart attack or stroke or peripheral artery disease and have elevated Lp(a) have an increased risk of further cardiovascular complications.

(BASEC)

Kriterien zur Teilnahme
Eligible to participate are patients who are at least 18 years old, suffering from an existing cardiovascular disease and having elevated lipoprotein(a) levels. A pre-existing cardiovascular disease is defined as a history of heart attack, stroke, or peripheral artery disease. (BASEC)

Ausschlusskriterien
Individuals who do not practice adequate contraception, as well as pregnant and breastfeeding women, are not eligible to participate. (BASEC)
