The study is an open-label, multicenter, and randomized study. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the effect of PCSK9 inhibitor on ACS patients with multivessel disease and relatively low LDL-C levels or LDL-C levels lower than the recommended target. The primary outcome was the rate of major adverse cardiac events (CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, documented unstable angina that requires admission into a hospital, all coronary revascularization with either PCI or CABG occurring at least 30 days after randomization, Non-fatal stroke) at 1 year. The secondary efficacy endpoints were individual components of the major adverse cardiac events, all cause death, and the percent change in LDL-C, Apo B, HDL-C, Lp(a) after treatment.

Primary Endpoint
The primary endpoint in the CHOICE study was the rate of major adverse cardiac events at 1 year. The definition of major adverse cardiac events was a composite of: * CV death * Major coronary events 1) non-fatal myocardial infarction \[MI\]; 2)documented unstable angina that requires admission into a hospital; 3)all coronary revascularization with either PCI or CABG occurring at least 30 days after randomization) * Non-fatal stroke
Time frame: 12 months
Secondary Endpoint
The secondary efficacy endpoints were individual components of the major adverse cardiac events, all cause death, and the percent change in LDL-C, Apo B, HDL-C, Lp(a) at 1 year.
Time frame: 12 months
Secondary Endpoint
the percent change in LDL-C, Apo B, HDL-C, Lp(a) at 1 year.
