Brief Summary: Coronary artery disease CAD is the most frequent cause of mortality in the industrialized world Hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor for the development and progression of CAD While statins currently represent the first-line gold-standard therapy for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality nearly 50 of patients in Europe and Canada treated with statins do not achieve their target levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol LDL-C or cannot tolerate effective statin doses

Recently a growing number of studies of PCSK9 inhibitors in a wide spectrum of patients with hyperlipidemia on or off lipid-lowering therapy familial hypercholesterolemia and statin intolerance demonstrated consistent profound and sustained reductions in LDL-C with greater magnitude of reduction as compared with high-dose statin regimens However the effects of PCSK9 inhibition on coronary plaque morphology remain unknown

This study will investigate the effect of the PCSK9 inhibitor alirocumab in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention PCI in the infarct-related artery and receiving guideline-recommended high-intensity statin therapy A serial multivessel intravascular ultrasound near-infrared spectroscopy and optical coherence tomography imaging study will be performed to determine the change in plaque volume at week 52 A total of 294 patients will be enrolled in the study and randomized in a 11 ratio to either alirocumab or placebo
