Alirocumab for Stabilisation of Symptomatic Vulnerable Carotid Plaque (CAROTID-STABIL)

Alirocumab for Stabilisation of Symptomatic Vulnerable Carotid Plaque: A Multicentre, Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial With High-Resolution Vessel-Wall MRI and Clinical Endpoints

CAROTID-STABILISE is a phase III, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating whether alirocumab 150 mg subcutaneously every 2 weeks, added to high-intensity statin therapy, produces greater reduction in intraplaque haemorrhage (IPH) volume at 26 weeks compared with placebo in patients with recently symptomatic carotid stenosis of 50-69% harbouring IPH or lipid-rich necrotic core (LRNC) on high-resolution vessel-wall MRI. The study will enroll 280 participants across multiple centres with a 52-week extension for durability and clinical endpoints assessment.

詳細な説明

BACKGROUND: Symptomatic carotid stenosis of 50-69% carries a 30-day recurrent-stroke risk of 5-8% and a 2-year risk of 15-20% on best medical therapy alone. A substantial proportion of patients are either surgically deferred or anatomically borderline where revascularisation benefit is debated. PCSK9 inhibitors have demonstrated carotid plaque regression, reduction in lipid-rich necrotic core, and reduction in arterial inflammation. However, no RCT has tested whether PCSK9 inhibition can reduce intraplaque haemorrhage or LRNC in symptomatic carotid plaque.

DESIGN: This is a phase III, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group superiority trial with a 26-week primary endpoint assessment and a 52-week extension. Patients with recently symptomatic carotid stenosis (50-69%) with MRI-confirmed vulnerable plaque features (IPH or LRNC) will be randomised 1:1 to alirocumab 150 mg SC q2w or matched placebo, both on background high-intensity statin therapy.

PRIMARY ENDPOINT: Absolute change in IPH volume (mm³) from baseline to week 26, measured on MPRAGE sequences by a blinded central imaging core lab using semi-automated segmentation.

SECONDARY ENDPOINTS: Include percent change in LRNC volume, absolute change in minimum fibrous cap thickness, percent change in total plaque wall volume at weeks 26 and 52, composite of ipsilateral recurrent stroke or TIA through week 52, and proportion avoiding carotid revascularisation through week 52.

SAFETY: Monitored by an independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) with pre-specified interim analyses at 50% and 75% enrolment.

実験的:Alirocumab + High-Intensity Statin
Alirocumab 150 mg subcutaneous injection every 2 weeks via pre-filled pen, self-administered or caregiver-administered, from randomisation through week 52. Plus atorvastatin 80 mg daily (or rosuvastatin 40 mg if intolerant) as background therapy.
Alirocumab 150 mg subcutaneous injection every 2 weeks via pre-filled pen for 52 weeks. First dose given at randomisation visit under supervision. Self-administered or caregiver-administered at home for subsequent doses. Alirocumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that inhibits PCSK9, leading to significant LDL-C reduction beyond that achieved with statins alone.
Matched placebo subcutaneous injection every 2 weeks via pre-filled pen for 52 weeks. Visually identical to alirocumab injection. First dose given at randomisation visit under supervision. Self-administered or caregiver-administered at home for subsequent doses.
Atorvastatin 80 mg oral tablet once daily as background high-intensity statin therapy for both arms. Rosuvastatin 40 mg daily may be substituted if patient is intolerant to atorvastatin. Administered throughout the entire study duration (52 weeks).
