Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–80 in Italy who are currently taking bempedoic acid and willing to give informed consent.

Probably not a fit

People not taking bempedoic acid, individuals under 18 or over 80, or those who decline consent are not eligible and will not benefit from this study's findings.

What this trial studies

This multicenter observational project will follow adults in Italy who are already being treated with bempedoic acid to document medication adherence, persistence, and changes in lipid levels in routine care. Investigators will collect clinical records, laboratory lipid measurements, and adherence information such as prescription refills or patient reports. The study excludes people under 18 or over 80 and requires informed consent from participants. Data will be analyzed to describe real-world persistence over time and the associated impact on cholesterol control.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help clinicians understand real-world adherence and effectiveness of bempedoic acid and guide strategies to improve cholesterol control.

How similar studies have gone: Randomized trials have shown bempedoic acid lowers LDL cholesterol and improves outcomes, while real-world adherence studies for this drug are limited, so this project adds observational data from routine care.
