Efficacy, Safety, and PopPK Profile of ABP-745 in Patients With Atherosclerosis

April 23, 2026 updated by: Atom Therapeutics Co., Ltd

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase II Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Population Pharmacokinetics (PopPK) Profile of ABP-745 in Patients With Atherosclerosis

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo parallel controlled study to evaluate the preliminary efficacy, safety, and PopPK profile of ABP-745 in patients with ASCVD. Efficacy of ABP-745 in reducing atherosclerotic plaque compared with placebo will be evaluated in participants with ASCVD. The primary efficacy measurement will be assessed at 52W of treatment.
