PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 25-30 days

The difference, in the percent change in LDL-cholesterol (mg/dL), from baseline to the 25-30 day values.

Outcome measures

Measure
Evolocumab
n=27 Participants
420 mg evolocumab administered subcutaneously using an autoinjector/pen in ACS patients. Evolocumab: 420 mg evolocumab.
Placebo
n=29 Participants
Placebo administered subcutaneously using an autoinjector/pen in ACS patients . Placebos: Matching placebo.
Change in LDL-Cholesterol
-70.59 percent change mg/dL
Interval -82.0 to -58.21
-44.78 percent change mg/dL
Interval -58.43 to -6.34

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 30 days

Population: participants who completed the follow-up scan at 30 days

The change between early infarction period and thirty day assessments of PET-FDG assessed myocardial inflammation. A higher SUV value= worse inflammation. There are no standard values for this, since this study is the first to describe this in this patient population.
