A Phase 4 study testing Rosuvastatin, Pravastatin and Atorvastatin in people with Type IIa and IIb Hypercholesterolaemia, run by AstraZeneca at 170 sites in France.
Trial summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Rosuvastatin 5 mg as an hypercholesterolemia treatment comparatively at 2 other statins: Pravastatin 40 mg and Atorvastatin 10 mg.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Rosuvastatin, Pravastatin and Atorvastatin in people with Type IIa and IIb Hypercholesterolaemia, run by AstraZeneca at 170 sites in France.
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 1 inclusion and 9 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 Nov 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 170 sites in France. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Sep 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Change in Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) Level After 8 Weeks (time frame: Change from baseline and after 8 weeks of treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 Nov 2013.
