About this trial

This is a multicenter, open-label, parallel-group, randomized trial to determine if intensive lipid-lowering therapy (goal for LDL-C \<1.0 mmol/L and ≥50% reduction frome baseline) could delay progression of coronary atherosclerotic obstructive leisions compared with guideline recommended lipid-lowering therapy (goal for LDL-C \<1.8 mmol/L and ≥50% reduction frome baseline) among participants between 18-60 years old with non-invasively managed chronic coronary syndrome (at least one lesion with a 50%-70% stenosis).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

None

Disqualifiers

Left main coronary artery disease or severe three-vessel disease;

Ultra-high-risk ASCVD patients: ≥2 severe ASCVD events or 1 severe ASCVD event with ≥2 high-risk factors;

Use of PCSK9 inhibitors or ezetimibe within 8 weeks prior to study enrollment;

The baseline LDL-C was relatively high (LDL-C≥2.6 mmol/L in those taking statins and ≥4.9 mmol/L in those not taking statins).

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Intensive lipid-lowering strategy

    Drug

    The initial recommended therapy is 20mg atorvastatin/10mg rosuvastatin plus Ezetimibe or PCSK9i, and the type and dosage of drugs can be adjusted according to the situation. If the target LDL-C level is not achieved during the Follow-up periods, adjustment of drug type and dosage will be carried out according to procedures defined in the protocol.

  • Standard lipid-lowering strategy

    Drug

    The initial recommended therapy is 20mg atorvastatin/10mg rosuvastatin, and the type and dosage of drugs can be adjusted according to the situation. If the target L-DLC level is not achieved during the Follow-up periods, adjustment of drug type and dosage will be carried out according to procedures defined in the protocol.

Treatment groups

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

The composite events of atherosclerotic plaque progression

A composite end-point comprised of plaque progression, nonfatal myocardial infarction, death, or unstable angina driven rehospitalization or revascularization. Plaque progression is defined as an anual progression of PAV measured by CCTA more than 1%. PAV = (total plaque volume/vessel volume) \*100%.

Time frame
12 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Major adverse cardiac events

Composite of nonfatal myocardial infarction, death, or unstable angina driven rehospitalization or revascularization.

Time frame
12 months
2

Plaque progression event

The proportion of annual change in PAV \>1%

Time frame
12 months
3

Agatston score changes of coronary artery and aortic valve

Evaluating intensive group compared to standard group in Agatston score changes of coronary artery and aortic valve evaluated by CCTA

Time frame
12 months
4

Percentage change in total coronary atheroma volume

Evaluating intensive group compared to standard group in total atheroma volume change evaluated by CCTA. PAV = (total plaque volume/vessel volume) \*100%.

Time frame
12 months
