A Study of Clazakizumab (LY5724886) in Adults With Elevated hsCRP and at Increased Risk for Cardiovascular Event

About this study

The purpose of this study is to measure the change in high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), a marker of inflammation in the body, with clazakizumab compared with placebo in adults who have elevated hsCRP and at increased risk for cardiovascular event. Participation in the study will last about 9 months.
