The AVOID-DM trial is a multicenter, prospective, randomized study comparing the risk of new-onset diabetes mellitus (DM) between two cholesterol-lowering strategies in patients with prediabetes and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). The study evaluates pitavastatin plus ezetimibe combination therapy versus high-intensity statin monotherapy (rosuvastatin 20 mg). Enrolling 2,000 non-diabetic participants with ASCVD, subjects are randomized 1:1 into the two treatment arms. The primary outcome is the incidence of new-onset DM over a follow-up period of up to 36 months. Secondary outcomes include cardiovascular events, changes in LDL cholesterol, fasting glucose, HbA1c, and insulin resistance. This trial hypothesizes that the combination therapy will achieve LDL targets with a lower risk of new-onset DM compared to high-intensity statin monotherapy.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether the combination of Probucol with statin therapy can reduce the risk of vascular events and improve atherosclerosis outcomes in adults with ischemic stroke and confirmed atherosclerosis. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does adding Probucol to statin therapy reduce plaque burden more effectively than statins alone? Does the combination therapy lead to fewer cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events compared to statins alone? Researchers will compare participants receiving standard statin therapy to those receiving statins combined with Probucol to assess differences in plaque burden and the occurrence of vascular events. Participants will: Choose either standard statin therapy (with possible addition of ezetimibe or PCSK9 inhibitors) or the same therapy combined with Probucol 0.5g twice daily. Attend regular follow-up visits for monitoring atherosclerosis features and cardiovascular health over a 3-year period. Undergo imaging studies to evaluate changes in atherosclerosis and blood tests to monitor lipid levels and other biomarkers.

The DESIFOR pilot study was conducted to determine the feasibility of utilizing an n-of-1 trial to facilitate tolerance of unblinded rosuvastatin in patients with prior statin intolerance

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) -based coronary heart disease(CHD) prevention strategy improves lipid-lowering treatment and cardiovascular risk factor control compared with traditional CHD prevention strategy, guided by a cardiovascular risk score.

The drug treatment for primary aldosteronism (PA) is limited and difficult to improve long-term cardiovascular outcomes. This study plans to enroll patients with primary aldosteronism and randomly divide into 3 groups: scheme 1: Statin combined with amlodipine besylate, scheme 2: Statin combined with Spironolactone and Amlodipine besylate. scheme 3: Amlodipine besylate combined with Spironolactone , to observe the changes in plasma aldosterone level, 24-hour urinary aldosterone, blood pressure, and long-term cardiovascular risk.
