NCT ID NCT06314919

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study is testing a fixed-dose combination of two cholesterol-lowering drugs, pitavastatin and ezetimibe, in over 8,600 people with high cholesterol or mixed lipid disorders. The goal is to see how well the combo works and how safe it is in real-world conditions, outside of a strict research setting. Participants are already on statins or ezetimibe and are switching to the combo pill.

What this could lead to
