Key inclusion criteria

1) Patients with acute coronary syndrome (defined as ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction, non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction or unstable angina). Patients who meet at least two of the following criteria within 7 days prior to admission:
1. ECG changes of acute coronary ischemia
2. SerumCK level more than 2 times the upper limit of normal, serum CK-MB or troponin (T/I) over the above upper limit of normal, or positivity for serum troponin T by a rapid, qualitative assay
3. Clinical history or pathological findings of acute myocardial infarction.
2) Patients who have at least one coronary plaque involving 25% or more of the stenosis (at the culprit lesion, the plaque needs to be 10 mm or more away from the PCI lesion)
3) Patients with hypercholesterolemia as defined by either of the criteria below
1.LDL-C>=140mg/dL
2.LDL-C>=100mg/dL and patients who are judged by the investigator as needing cholesterol-lowering treatment by the investigator
4) Patients 20 years old or older at the time of provision of consent
5) Patients providing written consent for participation in this clinical trial on their own volition after receiving a thorough explanation about the study

Key exclusion criteria

1) Target PCI lesion is graft stenosis or in-stent restenosis
2) Patients who had undergone previous PCI for the lesion under evaluation.
3) Patients who have plaque in a non-culprit site on the PCI vessel that might call for PCI during the treatment period (non-culprit lesion is unrestricted)
4) Patients already receiving lipid lowering agents (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors [statins], fibrates, probucol, nicotinic acid, anion exchange resins, or ezetimib)
5) Patients with familial hypercholesterolemia
6) Patients with cardiogenic shock
7) Patients on cyclosporine therapy
8) Patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the components of the product
9) Patients with liver dysfunction (ALT[GPT] >= 100IU), biliary obstruction and/or defective hepatic metabolism: acute hepatitis, acute exacerbation of chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, hepatic carcinoma and/or icterus
10) Pregnant and possibly pregnant women, lactating women
11) Patients with renal dysfunction (serum creatinine >=2.0 mg/dL) or on maintenance dialysis
12) Patients who are judged by the principal or other investigator to be ineligible for enrollment in the study

Number of participants that the trial has enrolled


Results

Between baseline and 3-week follow-up, fibrous cap thickness increased in the early statin group (140um to 160um, p=0.017) but decreased in the late statin group (135um to 130um, p=0.020). The percentage of increase in fibrous cap thickness between baseline and 3-week follow-up was significantly greater in the early statin group compared with the late statin group (8.3% vs. -5.8%, p<0.001). Between baseline and 36-week follow-up, fibrous cap thickness increased comparably in the two groups.
