PCSK9 inhibitor study for abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a drug called a PCSK9 inhibitor can help people undergoing open surgery for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. It aims to see if the drug affects the aneurysm in a way that might improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an abdominal aortic aneurysm that needs open surgery
- You are 18 years or older
- You are willing to follow the study procedures and attend all visits
- You have not used a PCSK9 inhibitor (like Repatha or Praluent) in the last 6 months
- Your LDL cholesterol is not too low (above 40 mg/dL)
- You do not have certain other conditions like aortic dissection, connective tissue disorders, or inflammatory aneurysm

This study looks at blood and/or scan markers to better understand abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). It may help doctors predict risks and guide follow-up or treatment choices.
This trial compares early surgical repair (using a stent) against regular monitoring for women who have a small abdominal aortic aneurysm. The goal is to see which approach leads to better outcomes.
This trial tests whether a structured pre-surgery program (exercise and coaching) can help people prepare for elective open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. It may help reduce problems and improve recovery by strengthening the body before surgery.
This trial tests a new device (Nectero EAST) for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms without major surgery. It may be an option for people with a medium-size aneurysm who have not had prior repair.
This study looks at how the heart and large arteries change after endovascular repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (a bulge in the main artery in your belly). It may help doctors understand if the repair improves heart function and vessel stiffness over time.
This trial tests a special technology (IOPS) to help guide a tube-like device into the opposite leg during standard aneurysm repair. It may help people with a common type of abdominal aortic aneurysm who are getting a standard treatment.
