Horizon
Horizon is a randomized, Phase 3, placebo-controlled, multicenter,
double-blind study (sponsor Novartis) evaluating the impact of
lipoprotein (a) on major cardiovascular events in patients with
established cardiovascular disease (CVD).
The study consists of a screening period of approximately 2 weeks, followed by a period
of CV risk factor therapy optimization of approximately 4 -12 weeks, if needed, and a
double-blind treatment period. Eligible patients will be randomized after screening or after
the 'CV risk factor therapy optimization' period to receive subcutaneous injections of
TQJ230 80 mg QM or placebo for self-administration or administration by a nurse or site
staff approximately every 30 days.
The minimum follow-up time in the double-blind trial is 2.5 years, and the total duration of
the study is expected to be approximately 4.25 years. In Switzerland, 60 patients are planned
to be enrolled.
