An interventional study of EHR Nudge in Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease, sponsored by NYU Langone Health. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 40 Years to 75 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-04.
Sponsored by NYU Langone Health · Not applicable, Interventional, and Health services research
The overall objective of this proposal is to develop and optimize a CDSS, including several nudges, to increase guideline-concordant statin prescribing for CVD risk (Nudge-CVD-CDSS). Potential nudges will be developed, usability tested and refined and then evaluated in a factorial trial. The aim of this trial is to develop, based on a conceptual model of the prescribing process, a set of potential intervention components (EHR-nudges) to promote and support AHA/ACC guideline-concordant statin prescribing. A user-centered design process will be employed. EHR audit log data will be used to identify technical workflows of current provider prescribing patterns. Provider- and patient-directed default, peer comparison, and salient messaging nudges will be developed (5 total). Patient-directed nudges will encourage patients to prompt their providers to prescribe guideline-concordant statins.

Start is estimated for Jan 2027; primary completion for May 2028, 16 months later.
Of 177 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Atherosclerosis, half reached primary completion within 30 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 56. This study's planned 16 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 197 studies reached it within 30 months; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 56.
