Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The development of coronary atherosclerosis is closely related to inflammation, and CD147 may play an important role in its process. The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of long-term administration of mepolizumab (humanized anti-CD147 antibody) on lipid deposition and inflammation in coronary atherosclerotic plaques in patients with high-risk coronary artery disease, and to preliminarily explore the efficacy, safety, and dosage of long-term administration of mepolizumab in this population.
