BHF SAMSON Trial


Volunteers needed for a study investigating statin side-effects

Eligible participants will be invited to join a one-year trial which allows people to determine what proportion of their symptoms are truly statin related

Your involvement will help to answer important questions about statin side effects that cause people to stop taking statins

You may be eligible if:

  • you are at least 18 years old
  • you have stopped taking statins because of side effects

During the one-year trial you will take 4 months each of

  • a statin
  • a placebo (dummy tablet), and
  • no treatment

You will record any symptoms daily using a special smartphone app.

After the trial you will learn your individual result showing what proportion of the symptoms were truly due to the statin
