Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov

This study will examine how an approved drug (TriLipix), when used in combination with a statin (a drug that lowers blood cholesterol levels), affects the makeup of plaque. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either the study treatment (TriLipix plus Atorvastatin) or the comparison treatment (a placebo). Comparison of the effect on the makeup of plaque will be done by using coronary artery computed tomography angiography (CTA), which all participants will have at enrollment and at the end of the study (18 months after enrollment).
