Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Evolocumab 140 MG/ML →Standard of care (SOC)

Evolocumab 140 MG/ML: Evolocumab (Repatha®) 140 mg every two weeks: first subcutaneous injection at the time of randomization, before PCI, followings during 36 months.

Standard of care (SOC): management as recommended in ESC/EAS 2019 guidelines, within reimbursement criteria

Study summary

AMUNDSEN-real is a phase IV, international (7 European countries), multicenter, controlled, open label study randomized, in 2 parallel groups of patients with a diagnosis of STEMI or NSTEMI with an indication for PCI, using the PROBE study design (Prospective Randomised Open, Blinded Endpoint).

The objective of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of evolocumab versus standard of care in reaching a LDL-C reduction of ≥ 50% from baseline and a LDL-C goal of \<1.4 mmol/L (\<55 mg/dL) at 12 months follow-up on the overall population.

The primary clinical objective is to demonstrate the superiority of evolocumab versus standard of care on the composite endpoint of death or any unplanned hospitalization for a CV reason at 12 months.

Central randomization uses an IWRS. Stratification is by center and stratum with random block size, generated according to the procedures of the sponsor, by a statistician not involved in the study.
