About this study

Official title: Effect of Rosuvastatin on Outcome by NIHSS After Intracerebral Hemorrhage

The purpose of this study is to determine whether rosuvastatin is effective in the management of acute phase of intracerebral hemorrhage and if it impact outcome by NIHSS.

Read the detailed description

The intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a frequent problem of health, with high morbid-mortality. In addition it originates expensive expenses in health care systems.

ICH produces damage by mass effect, then by biochemical ways which are activated and they carry to secondary damage. Many studies have been conducted for explaining secondary injury, now we know there are ischemic changes related maybe with changes in cerebral flow and metabolism, in addition to activate inflammatory ways. Many drugs and measures has been ineffective for getting best outcome, without success.

Statins or inhibitors of HMG CoA reductase are drugs used in dyslipidemia, frequently for reduction in LDL. Experimental and clinical studies in stroke and ICH have shown improvement in outcome. The toxicity related to statin is myopathy and hepatopathy, both with low incidence without fatal cases. Rosuvastatin has been postulated be the most powerful with longest life and toxicity similar to another statins.

We have designed this study to demonstrate if the administration of rosuvastatin in the first 24 hours and by 14 days has improvement in outcome.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Rosuvastatin in people with Intracerebral Hemorrhage and Stroke, run by Universidad Autonoma de San Luis Potosí at 1 site in Mexico.

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 13 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 26 Mar 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Mexico. 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?

NIHSSº (time frame: basal and discharge). 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 NCT00364559, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 26 Mar 2009.
