Lp(a) Lowering Study of Pelacarsen (TQJ230) With Background Inclisiran in Participants With Elevated Lp(a) and Established ASCVD

Description

The purpose of the study CTQJ230A12304, is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of pelacarsen (TQJ230) compared to placebo in participants with ASCVD who have elevated lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)), and who are on background inclisiran treatment for elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).
