A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, Pharmacodynamics (PD), and Pharmacokinetics (PK) of Selnoflast in Reducing Vascular Inflammation in Participants With Atherosclerosis at Risk for Major Adverse Cardiac Events

The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of selnoflast compared with placebo in participants with atherosclerosis, at high-risk for major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), who are currently on standard-of-care (SOC) therapy.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in mdsTBR (Most-diseased Segment TBR [Target-to-background Ratio]) of Index Vessel From Baseline to Week 12 in Participants With Baseline Elevated hsCRP (≥ 2 milligrams per liter [mg/L])

    Time frame: Baseline up to Week 12

    hsCRP=high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in mdsTBR of Index Vessel at Week 12 in all Participants (hsCRP < 2 mg/L and ≥ 2mg/L)

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12

  2. Change From Baseline in mdsTBR of Carotids at Week 12 in all Participants (hsCRP < 2 mg/L and ≥ 2 mg/L)

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12

  3. Change From Baseline in mdsTBR of Carotids at Week 12 in Participants With Baseline Elevated hsCRP (≥ 2 mg/L)

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12

  4. Change From Baseline in Active Segments TBR and the Whole Vessel TBR of the Index Vessel at Week 12 in all Participants (hsCRP < 2 mg/L and ≥ 2 mg/L)

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12

  5. Change From Baseline in Active Segments TBR and the Whole Vessel TBR of the Index Vessel at Week 12 in Participants With Baseline Elevated hsCRP (≥ 2 mg/L)

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12

  6. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Severity of AEs Determined According to the NCI CTCAE v5.0 Grading Scale

    Time frame: Up to approximately 20 weeks

    NCI CTCAE v5.0 = National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 5.0.

  7. Plasma Concentration of Selnoflast at Specified Timepoints

    Time frame: Up to 12 weeks
