One pill to rule them all? new study tests polypill for heart attack patients
NCT ID NCT07032389
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether combining three standard heart medications (aspirin, a blood thinner, and a statin) into a single daily pill helps people who've had a heart attack take their medicine more consistently. About 1,000 adults who recently had a heart attack and a stent placed will be randomly assigned to either the polypill or their usual separate pills. The goal is to see if the polypill reduces deaths, blood clots, and bleeding events while improving medication adherence and satisfaction.
