Atherosclerosis of the neck - Carotid Artery (Grant #29296)
Atherosclerosis of the neck or hardening of the carotid artery in the neck (carotid stenosis) can be caused by too much LDL or “bad” cholesterol, smoking, high blood pressure or diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of an investigational medication to reduce arterial plaque in subjects with carotid atherosclerosis. A state of the art 3T MRI scan will be provided to participants that qualify.
This study is approximately 6 months long with 11 visits.
Entry Qualifications:
- * 18 to 85 years of age
- * Diagnosed with 16-79% carotid stenosis by an ultrasound (if no previous diagnosis, ultrasound may be provided)
Qualifying participants receive clinical care, 3T MRI ultrasound (if needed), and study medication at no charge. There is a nominal reimbursement for time and travel costs. Call (405) 272-8481 or complete the form below.
