Q: What is the NCT06338293 clinical trial studying?

Effects of inclisiran + statins vs. statins on the morphology and vascular function of coronary vulnerable plaques, in order to provide a better treatment and more detailed imaging basis for the treatment of coronary vulnerable plaques. The full protocol is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov and includes the primary outcome measures, eligibility criteria, and study endpoints.

Q: Who can participate in NCT06338293?

Eligibility for this trial depends on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the sponsor. The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath. Whether you fit any specific trial is a medical decision your doctor needs to confirm — bring the trial information to your treating physician for a full review against your medical history.

Q: How do I contact the trial site for NCT06338293?

Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.

Q: Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.

Using OFR Software to Observe the Effects of Inclisiran Combined With Statins on the Morphology and Vascular Function of Coronary Vulnerable Plaques

Effects of Inclisiran Combined With Statins on the Morphology of Coronary Vulnerable Plaques (NCT06338293) is a Phase 4 interventional studying Coronary Artery Disease, sponsored by Nanjing First Hospital, Nanjing Medical University. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 4 studies happen after a treatment has been approved by the FDA. They monitor long-term safety, real-world effectiveness, and any rare side effects that only emerge in larger populations over longer periods. Phase 4 results sometimes lead to label changes, additional warnings, or — rarely — withdrawal of approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 40 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: 1. Age 18-80 years old; 2. Coronary angiography (CAG) showed that the diameter of the primary coronary lesion was 20 \~ 70%, and the lesion was confirmed by OCT and OFR analysis, in which the target lesion contained at least one vulnerable plaque (the thinnest fibrous cap thickness was ≤65um, and the lipid core was ≥ 90), and the target vessel did not need further percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); 3. Patients have been treated with statins for ≥4 weeks, but their LDL-C level were still ≥ 70 mg/dl (≥ 1.8 mmol/l). Who Should NOT Join This Trial: 1. Acute myocardial infarction occurred in recent 30 days; 2. The target lesion of coronary artery is severely distorted and angulated; Severe left main artery lesion, chronic occlusive lesion and bifurcation lesion; 3. Previous CABG; 4. Serum triglyceride (TG) \> 500 mg/dl (\> 5.6 mmol/l); 5. Patients with severe heart failure (\< 40%) and respiratory failure; 6. Severe renal insufficiency (eGFR \< 30ml ／min／1.73m2), active liver disease or severe liver damage;7. allergic to statins or inclisiran, and used PCSK9 monoclonal antibody in the past; 8. Known active infection or severe blood, metabolic or endocrine dysfunction; 9. Non-cardiac surgery is planned within 12 months; 10, can't follow the requirements of the follow-up, or researchers believe that the subjects to participate in the trial will increase the risk. Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
