First seen Mar 10, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study tests whether giving a powerful cholesterol-lowering injection (evolocumab) together with standard statin pills within 48 hours of a stroke can prevent early brain damage. About 429 adults with moderate to severe artery narrowing in the brain will be randomly assigned to get either the combo or statins alone. The goal is to see if the combo reduces early neurological decline and improves recovery at 90 days.
