Cardiovascular Disease Research Study

This research study is evaluating an investigational drug that may help prevent major cardiac events such as heart attacks or strokes in patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD is the leading cause of death worldwide and is associated with high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Available treatments like statins have been seen to reduce the risk of cardiac events by lowering the levels of LDL-C. Despite this, lots of people require a more intensive management especially those at a higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events hence the purpose of this research.

The study may be an option if you:

  • Are aged 40-79 years of age.
  • Have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
  • Are on a stable and well-tolerated lipid-lowering therapy for at least the past 4 weeks.
  • Have no history of Heart attack, Stroke or Peripheral Arterial Disease.

Other criteria apply.

Qualified participants may receive the study drug and will receive study-related evaluations and care at no cost. You will receive $150 for each completed study visit and $150 for any unscheduled completed visits that may occur.
