This trial compares two approaches to lower cholesterol in people aged 70+ with type 2 diabetes: a moderate statin dose versus adjusting treatment to reach a personalized LDL-C target. It aims to find which strategy better prevents heart problems.
This study tests if taking a statin along with an SGLT2 inhibitor (a diabetes drug that also helps the heart) works better for people with heart disease caused by blocked arteries. The goal is to improve heart function with this combination therapy.
This study compares two different ways of lowering cholesterol: a moderate statin (pitavastatin) plus another drug (ezetimibe) versus a stronger statin alone. The goal is to see which approach is safer regarding the risk of developing new diabetes.
This trial tests whether certain statin drugs change blood sugar levels. You may join if you are generally healthy and do not have diabetes.
This study looks at whether taking a low- to moderate-dose statin can prevent first-time heart and stroke problems in people age 70 and older. It may help you lower “bad cholesterol” (LDL) and see if that leads to fewer heart events over time.
This trial compares two cholesterol-lowering approaches in people with prediabetes to see which one is less likely to lead to new-onset diabetes. It may help you choose a safer medication plan if you need strong cholesterol treatment to prevent future heart problems.
