PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Final Visit (up to 72 weeks)

Population: N at baseline included subjects who had both a baseline value and a final visit value. Baseline value is the last observation before first dose of study medication.

The nominal change from baseline in percent atheroma volume for all slices of anatomically comparable segments of the target coronary artery. Assessment completed at the Week 72 visit or Final Visit if treatment was prematurely discontinued.

Timeframe: Baseline and Final Visit (up to 72 weeks)

Population: N at baseline included subjects who had both a baseline value and a final visit value. Baseline value is the last observation before first dose of study medication.

The nominal change in normalized total atheroma volume as measured by the average of plaque areas for all slices of anatomically comparable segments of the target coronary artery multiplied by the mean number of matched slices in the population. Assessment completed at the Week 72 visit or Final Visit if treatment was prematurely discontinued.

Timeframe: Up to 72 weeks

Population: Kaplan-Meier methodology was used to estimate time to event for each composite endpoint. P-value comparing survival function between groups was based on log-rank test. Time to first occurrence of cardiovascular events/hospitalizations had non-estimable medians due to very low event rates. Number of participants experiencing events are presented.

Due to low event rates, number of subjects experiencing any of the composite endpoint A cardiovascular events is being reported instead of time to first occurrence. Endpoint A conditions listed in Limitations and Caveats section.
