ABP-745 to reduce atherosclerotic plaque in people with ASCVD

Official title: 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

Run by Atom Therapeutics Co., Ltd · NCT07303777 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial will test whether ABP-745 reduces atherosclerotic plaque over 52 weeks in adults (18–75) with ASCVD who are already taking oral lipid-lowering therapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–75 with documented coronary atherosclerosis who weigh at least 40 kg, are on oral lipid-lowering therapy, and can comply with study procedures (including agreed contraception if applicable) are the intended candidates.

Probably not a fit

People with a recent stroke (within 6 months), uncontrolled arrhythmia, recent major surgery, active or recent cancer, those outside the specified age/weight ranges, or not on oral lipid-lowering therapy are unlikely to be eligible or to receive benefit.

What this trial studies

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial comparing three dose levels of ABP-745 against placebo in adults with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Participants will remain on their routine oral lipid-lowering therapy and be randomized to one of four arms (three ABP-745 doses or placebo). The study will collect safety data, population pharmacokinetics (PopPK), and imaging-based measures of atherosclerotic plaque, with the primary efficacy measurement at 52 weeks of treatment. Clinical visits and assessments will track adverse events and plaque changes over the treatment period.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, ABP-745 could reduce plaque burden and potentially lower future cardiovascular risk beyond standard lipid-lowering therapy.

How similar studies have gone: Some other lipid- and plaque-targeting therapies (for example PCSK9 inhibitors) have reduced plaque or cardiovascular events, but ABP-745 appears to be a novel agent with limited prior human efficacy data.
