Medication app to help people take statins as prescribed
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a medication-management phone app can improve how reliably you take a high-intensity statin (cholesterol-lowering medicine). You may be eligible if you’re starting a statin for blood vessel disease and have higher LDL (“bad cholesterol”) levels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be over 18 years old
- Have blood vessel disease (like heart, brain/neurovascular, or leg circulation problems) and be starting a strong statin soon (within about 10 days)
- Be “statin-naive,” meaning you have not taken cholesterol-lowering statin medicine before
- Have LDL (“bad cholesterol”) above 100 mg/dL within the last 21 days
- Have your own smartphone and be able to take medicines on your own and use the app independently
