Brief Summary
This placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, Phase 3 study is being conducted in adult participants with high-risk atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) who are not adequately controlled by their maximally tolerated lipid-modifying therapy, to assess the impact of the obicetrapib 10 mg + ezetimibe 10 mg FDC daily on coronary plaque and inflammation characteristics, evaluated using cardiovascular computed tomography angiography (CCTA).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
• To evaluate the effect of obicetrapib 10 mg + ezetimibe 10 mg fixed dose combination (FDC) daily on total non-calcified coronary atherosclerotic plaque volume (NCPV) at 18 months.
Total plaque comparison measured by CCTA
18 months
Secondary Outcomes (5)
Absolute change from baseline to 18 months in total NCPV in all major epicardial coronary arteries, as measured by CCTA, in participants treated with obicetrapib 10 mg + ezetimibe 10 mg FDC therapy compared with placebo.
18 Months
Percent change from baseline to 18 months in LDL-C in participants treated with obicetrapib 10 mg + ezetimibe 10 mg FDC therapy compared to placebo.
18 Months
Percent change from baseline to 18 months in non-calcified coronary atherosclerotic plaque volume in the most diseased coronary segment (NCPVMD), as measured by CCTA, in participants treated with FDC therapy vs placebo
18 Months
Absolute change from baseline to 18 months in NCPVMD, as measured by CCTA, in participants treated with obicetrapib 10 mg + ezetimibe 10 mg FDC therapy compared with placebo.
18 Months
Change in perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI), FAI score and its age- and gender specific centile in the principal epicardial coronary arteries as measured by CCTA in participants treated with FDC therapy compared with placebo.
18 Months
