Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Change From Baseline on ex Vivo Leukotriene B4 Synthesis in Whole Blood [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Change From Baseline in Leukotriene E4 (LTE4) [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Urinary LTE4 is expressed in pg per mg Creatinine (pg/mg Cr) to normalize for renal excretion rate

  • Change From Baseline in High Sensitivity C-reactive Protein (hsCRP) - Core Study [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Other Outcome Measures:
  • Change From Baseline in High Sensitivity C-reactive Protein (hsCRP) - MDCT Substudy [ Time Frame: Baseline and 24 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change From Baseline in Noncalcified Plaque Volume [ Time Frame: Baseline and 24 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change From Baseline in Mean Plaque Density [ Time Frame: Baseline and 24 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Plaque density is expressed in Hounsfield Units (HU)

  • Change From Baseline in Percent Stenosis [ Time Frame: Baseline and 24 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
