By using PCSK9 inhibitors such as Alirocumab, very low LDL cholesterol levels not previously encountered in statin trials, can be achieved in patients with established heart disease on top of intensive statin treatment.\n\nThis research is being carried out because it is unclear what the lowest threshold of LDL cholesterol should be to attain significant reductions in CV risk in stable cardiovascular patients. It is unknown whether there is a true limit of LDL cholesterol below which there is no further improvement in endothelial function in stable cardiovascular patients, and, whether this is associated with a reduction in markers of both systemic and vascular inflammation.\n\nDefining this may help identify individuals from the general population who may benefit from more aggressive lipid lowering treatment than standard statin treatment in terms of CV morbidity and mortality.\n\nThis study will be conducted in patients with stable cardiovascular disease, where they will be randomized to receive either a combination of Alirocumab and statin, or Ezetimibe plus statin. 60 patients will be recruited to this single center, randomized, open label, parallel group, mechanistic physiological study which will be conducted at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. In order to be eligible for enrollment to the study, some patients may have to complete a 4 week washout period on a suitable statin therapy. The total study duration for each participant will be approximately 14 weeks, where a series of non-invasive vascular studies and medical imaging assessments which will be conducted to observe vascular/systemic inflammation and to assess endothelial vascular function.This study is funded by JP Moulton Charitable Foundation.', 'detailedDescription': 'The INTENSITY-HIGH study primarily seeks to explore the physiological mechanisms (mainly using endothelial function and vascular imaging of inflammation) by which secondary prevention in patients with established cardiovascular disease may benefit from even lower LDL levels using PCSK9 therapies. This will then set the basis for potential changes to guidelines about what a "healthy cholesterol" level should be and the targets these should be achieving, or indeed if there is a plateau beyond which there is no further benefit on surrogates of CV disease.\n\nEndothelial function can be measured in the peripheral vasculature in a number of different ways, which include venous occlusion plethysmography with intra-arterial infusions of acetylcholine, ischemia flow-mediated endothelium-dependent dilatation (FMD) of the brachial artery, reactive hyperemia peripheral arterial tonometry (RH-PAT) and others. A venous plethysmography measure of forearm blood flow to intra-arterial acetylcholine infusion is the most sensitive and direct measurement of endothelium release of nitric oxides, but is more invasive than other techniques. FMD is non-invasive and measures changes in the brachial artery to ischemia. It is acknowledged that whilst FMD has a larger coefficient variation and is more technician dependent, it is more patient-friendly in that it is of shorter duration procedure wise, is non-invasive and is repeatable over a short period; therefore we have employed this technique in this study to improve chances of patient acceptability. RH-PAT is an alternative non-invasive assessment which measures volume changes at the fingertip (a surrogate of reactive hyperemia), is easy to implement and is not operator dependent. However, as yet it remains not well validated. Therefore, flow mediated dilatation has been selected for this study.\n\nMetabolically active inflammatory cells utilize more glucose than non-activated cells, and the degree of metabolic activity can be measured using 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT). Cellular FDG uptake is largely irreversible and correlates with glucose usage and macrophage numbers in both tumor cells and atherosclerotic plaques \\[38, 39\\]. FDG PET imaging has been successfully used to determine culprit plaques responsible for TIA and stroke \\[4042\\]. The signal has also been shown to be responsive to therapy, with clear reductions in FDG uptake noted in both humans and animal models of atherosclerosis \\[43, 44\\]. In addition, very recently, it has been shown that FDG-PET/CT is a reliable technique to assess changes in plaque structure with good reproducibility \\[40\\]. Taken together, these findings suggest a role for FDG PET/CT imaging in the assessment of the antiinflammatory potential of novel compounds such as PCSK9 therapies.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '40 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients with high risk CVD with LDL-Cholesterol ≤ 4.0mmol\\* OR patients with very high risk CVD with LDL-Cholesterol ≤3.5mmol/l\\*\\*\n* Male or female patients over 40 years of age inclusive at screening, with a body weight ≥ 45kg and BMI ≥ 18 - ≤ 40kg/m2\n* Palpable brachial arterial pulse, as per study team assessment\n* History of stable CV disease, defined as previous myocardial infarction (STEMI or NSTEMI), angioplasty, documented CAD (Stress echo, CT coronary angiography or invasive angiography), stroke, TIA or peripheral vascular disease without a recent event in the last 6 months (i.e. acute coronary syndrome, unstable angina, CABG, PCI, stroke, MI, carotid endarterectomy)\n* Stable \'suitable statin therapy\' over the last 6 weeks as defined by a "statin equivalent" of Simvastatin 80mg od, Rosuvastatin 20mg/40mg od or Atorvastatin 40/80mg od.
