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.

  • Blood pressure higher than normal despite lifestyle changes and treatment with medications
  • Any life-threatening disease expected to result in death within the next 2 years (other than heart disease)
  • Severe asthma that is poorly controlled with medication
  • Pregnant (Note: A pregnancy test will be performed on all non-sterile women prior to study entry)
  • Previous severe allergic response to food, drink, insect stings, etc.
