Cholesterol drug could be new weapon against deadly blood clots

NCT ID NCT04319627

Summary

This large Phase 3 trial is testing whether adding the cholesterol-lowering drug rosuvastatin to standard blood thinners can help prevent dangerous blood clots from returning. The study will enroll 2,700 adults who recently had a major leg or lung clot, giving half the participants the statin and half a placebo pill alongside their usual treatment. Researchers hope this common medication might provide extra protection by reducing vein inflammation and preventing new clots from forming.
