Pospective, single center, double-blind, randomised pharmacodynamic experimental study. The
study will enroll 150 subjects with ASCVD on optimal statin therapy as per physician and
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) undergoing elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). Eligible
patients will be randomized for 30 day treatment to either 1) evolocumab 420 mg ; or 2)
placebo.

This is a double-blind randomized clinical trial of evolocumab versus placebo in patients
with ASCVD and DM on clopidogrel and aspirin undergoing ePCI. The study is aimed to assess

1. the effect of evolocumab therapy on platelet activation and reactivity;

2. the effect of evolocumab on biomarkers of platelet activation and inflammation.

Eligible patients will be randomized prior to start the PCI equally to either:

1. 420 mg evolocumab ; or

2. placebo. The randomized treatment will be administered in subcutaneous injections.

The laboratory assessments will be performed before (baseline), and 16-24 hours and 30-days
after randomization.

Subject participation will be 30 days from the randomization.

- Diabetes Mellitus
