High Lipoprotein (a)

I just received lipid panel results showing liproprotein (a) (lp (a)) value of 219 (normal is < 75), and total cholesterol having doubled in the last year, this despite taking Praluent (PCSK9 inhibitor) injectible and 40 mg rosuvastatin for 9 years. I also am managing HCM with Camzyos 5 mg; and managing bradycardia with Pacemaker implanted 9/25. I'm 80 years old, live alone, with history of 3 MI's and CRAO (Eye stroke). Anyone know of any clinical trials still open for any of the new siRNA drugs for high lp a?
Also, at my wit's end with challenging family dynamics, and friends lost too soon.

@susiewordsmith I have read their are still clinical trials going on. But, back in October my cardiologist said their research has seen some great results and are currently waiting on an approval from the FDA of a shot I will be getting twice a year. As it stands, the FDA must work extremely slow.
