NCT ID NCT05726838
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 600 Belgian adults with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease who are prescribed inclisiran, a cholesterol-lowering injection, alongside their usual medications. Researchers will measure how much LDL cholesterol drops and how many patients reach their target levels in real-life conditions. The goal is to see if inclisiran works as well outside clinical trials as it does in them.
