Massive italian study tracks Real-World use of Cholesterol-Lowering injections

NCT ID NCT05430828

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

Summary

This study is following 5,000 Italian patients who are taking PCSK9 inhibitor injections (Repatha or Praluent) for high cholesterol. Researchers want to see how consistently patients take their medication and how well it lowers their LDL cholesterol in real life, not just in a lab. The study will also track side effects and look at differences by age, sex, and other factors.

What this could lead to
