What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study will follow 500 people who recently had a stroke or mini-stroke to see how well they stick with cholesterol-lowering treatments like statins and diet changes. Researchers want to learn how many patients reach their LDL cholesterol goals and whether better control reduces the risk of another stroke. The goal is to find ways to improve everyday care after a stroke.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could identify gaps in cholesterol management after stroke, leading to better treatment guidelines and fewer repeat strokes.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly test a new therapy. Results may vary across centers and may not apply to all patients.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * • Recent acute cerebrovascular event, defined as a confirmed diagnosis of ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, or TIA occurring less than 30 days prior to enrollment. * Availability of a baseline measured LDL cholesterol value (direct or calculated) at the time of the index event or close to it. * Patients for whom, in routine clinical practice, a lipid-lowering therapy has been indicated and prescribed for secondary prevention (low-fat diet, supplements, statins, ezetimibe, bempedoic acid, PCSK9 inhibitors, fibrates, or other lipid-lowering agents). * Written informed consent obtained and signed by the patient before inclusion. If the patient is unable to provide consent autonomously (e.g., due to aphasia, impaired consciousness, etc.), informed consent will be obtained from a legal representative or proxy, in accordance with applicable regulations. Exclusion Criteria: * • Comorbidities or conditions preventing 3-month follow-up: e.g., terminal oncological disease with life expectancy \<3 months, severe cognitive impairment (e.g., advanced dementia), or other conditions that make it impossible to obtain follow-up information; inability to contact the patient after discharge (e.g., non-resident foreign patient or lacking telephone contacts). * Any other clinical, psychological, or social condition that, in the investigator's judgment, may compromise the patient's ability to adhere to the study or the reliability of the collected data.
