Descriptive Information

Brief Title  ICMJEThe Stabilization of Atherosclerotic Plaque by Initiation of Darapladib Therapy Trial
Official Title  ICMJEA Clinical Outcomes Study of Darapladib Versus Placebo in Subjects With Chronic Coronary Heart Disease to Compare the Incidence of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE)
Brief Summary

This study will test whether darapladib can safely lower the chances of having a cardiovascular event (such as a heart attack or stroke) in people with coronary heart disease.

Detailed Description

Subjects who qualify for the study will be randomized 1:1 to either darapladib or placebo administered in addition to standard therapy. Following the baseline visit, subjects will be expected to return for clinic visits at 1 month, 3 months, and every 6 months until the end of the study. Average time in the study for an individual subject is expected to be about 3 years.
