A Multi-centre, Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Study to Investigate the Effect of the Lp-PLA2 Inhibitor SB-480848 (40, 80mg od) on Carotid Plaque Composition in Patients With Carotid Artery Disease and Planned Carotid Endarterectomy, Stratified for Statin Use and Gender, After 14+/-4 Days Treatment
The primary objective is to determine Lp-PLA2 activity in atherosclerotic carotid plaques after 14 (+/-4) days treatment with darapladib, compared to placebo. Secondary objectives include determination of the change in Lp-PLA2 activity in blood, Lp-PLA2 mass in blood and plaque, specified biomarkers in blood and plaque and their respective correlation's with Lp-PLA2. In addition, the study aims to characterise the PK/PD of repeat oral doses of SB-480848, and safety and tolerability in this population.
