About this study

This study investigates potential protective effect of atorvastatin pre-treatment in patient with stable coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patient are randomized to two groups: atorvastatin pre-treatment group (80mg atorvastatin two days before PCI) and control group (PCI without atorvastatin pretreatment). Endpoint is myocardial infarction measured by troponin I and creatine kinase myocardial band.

Read the detailed description

Randomized studies have shown that pre-treatment with atorvastatin may reduced periprocedural myocardial in patient with stable angina during elective PCI. These data provide evidence-based support for using atorvastatin 7 days before PCI (dosage 40mg/d), alternatively three or more days (unknown dosage). We want to confirm this results for shorter pre-treatment period (two days) with dosage 80mg per day.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Atorvastatin in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by University Hospital, Motol at 1 site in Czechia.

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 7 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 27 Jan 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 Czechia. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

periprocedural myocardial infarction measured by troponin I level (time frame: 24 hours). 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 NCT00469326, which also lists 4 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 27 Jan 2009.
