We aimed to explore the effect of PCSK9 inhibitor based on the background of statin on carotid intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) assessed by serial contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) analysis in Chinese patients with premature coronary artery disease (PCAD). 41 patients were included to receive treatments with biweekly evolocumab (n = 22) or placebo (n = 19) in addition to statin therapy for 52 weeks. All patients were newly diagnosed with PCAD and treatments were initiated at baseline of the observations. Baseline and 52-week CEUS were acquired to measure the max plaque height (MPH) and IPN. The primary outcome was the 52-week IPN changes, the secondary endpoints included the 52-week MPH changes and major adverse cardiovascular events. The mean ± SD age of the participants was 46.76 ± 8.56 years, and 61% (25/41) of patients were on statins before the start of the study. There was no statistically significant difference in the history of statins treatment and the initiated lipid-lowering therapy of atorvastatin and rosuvastatin between groups (p > 0.05). At 52 weeks, the evolocumab group showed a lower LDL level (0.84 ± 0.45 mmol/L vs. 1.58 ± 0.51 mmol/L, p < 0.001) and a greater decrease in percent reduction of LDL-C level (-65% vs. -32%) and a higher percent of achieving lipid-lowering target (95% vs. 53%, p < 0.05) compared with the placebo group. At 52 weeks, IPN (evolocumab group: 0.50 ± 0.60 vs. 1.50 ± 0.80, p < 0.001; placebo group: 0.79 ± 0.54 vs. 1.26 ± 0.65, p < 0.05) and MPH (evolocumab group: 2.01 ± 0.44 mm vs. 2.57 ± 0.90 mm, p < 0.05, placebo group: 2.21 ± 0.58 mm vs. 2.92 ± 0.86 mm, p < 0.05) reduced significantly in both groups from baseline to 52-week follow-up. IPN and MPH were decreased by both treatments. Still, there was no significant difference in delta (52 weeks - baseline) MPH by an ANOVA analysis between the two groups [evolocumab group: -0.56 mm (2.01 mm-2.57 mm); placebo group: -0.71 mm (2.21 mm-2.92 mm), p > 0.05]. In the evolocumab group, the change in the mean reduction of IPN from baseline [-1.00 (0.50-1.50) vs. -0.47 (0.79-1.26), p < 0.05] and the incidence of patients with carotid IPN decrease were significantly greater reduction (90% vs. 58%, p < 0.05). If compared to placebo, the PCSK9 inhibitor evolocumab combined with statins resulted in a greater decrease in LDL-C and plaque neovascularization in Chinese patients with PCAD.
