About this study

Official title: Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacokinetics of Combined Use of Rosuvastatin (Crestor) and Lopinavir/Ritonavir (Kaletra) in HIV-infected Patients With Hyperlipidemia (ROSALKA)

open-label, multiple dose, single-group, 12 week trial in HIV-infected patients with hyperlipidemia while using lopinavir/ritonavir; both male or female subjects.

Read the detailed description

To determine the effect of rosuvastatin on plasma lipids, lipoproteins, and endothelial function in HIV-infected patients on stable lopinavir/ritonavir therapy and to evaluate the safety of combined use of rosuvastatin and lopinavir/ritonavir. Also to determine the effect of lopinavir/ritonavir on the pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin compared to historical controls an to determine the effect of rosuvastatin on the pk of lopinavir/ritonavir compared to historical controls and by intrapatient comparison.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Rosuvastatin in people with HIV Infections and Hyperlipidemia, run by Radboud University Medical Center at 5 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Netherlands, Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

pharmacokinetics on week 0,4,8 and 12. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00184951, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Nov 2020.
