ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called IMC-001 to see if it can help make atherosclerotic plaques—fatty deposits in the arteries—more stable in patients who have recently experienced acute coronary syndrome (ACS), a serious heart condition. The trial is designed for adults aged 18 to 75 who have had a recent ACS event and meet specific medical criteria. Participants will be divided into two groups: one will receive IMC-001 along with their usual heart medications, while the other group will receive only the usual medications.

To be eligible for this study, participants must have had an ACS event within the last 30 days and show certain types of plaques in their coronary arteries during a specific imaging test. Unfortunately, not everyone can join; for instance, those who have had a heart attack or stroke in the past year or have certain heart conditions will be excluded. If you participate, you'll be closely monitored to assess the safety and effectiveness of the treatment. This study has not yet started recruiting participants, so interested individuals should keep an eye out for further announcements.
