Old stroke data gets a modern check: do newer drugs lower risk?

NCT ID NCT05300737

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether modern medicines (like statins and newer blood thinners) can keep the one-year stroke rate below 5% in people with narrowed neck arteries who have already had a minor stroke or warning signs. About 114 participants are being followed to see how well these drugs work alone, without surgery. The goal is to update knowledge from 30-year-old studies that didn't have today's treatments.
