About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Open-Label Extension Study Of High-Risk Hyperlipidemic Patients Treated With An Atorvastatin Starting Dose Adapted To Their Baseline LDL-C Level

A study of the long-term (1 year) effectiveness of atorvastatin to keep patients of high cardiovascular risk at the LDL cholesterol goal of <115 mg/dL

Conditions
Dyslipidemias
Being tested
Atorvastatin
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • AtorvastatinDrug

    Atorvastatin tablets at starting doses of 10, 20, 40, or 80 mg once daily. Three dose adjustments were allowed at baseline, Week 17, and Week 34. Patients who did not meet the LDL-C target at any of these time points had their doses doubled except for those who were on the 80 mg dose. Treatment was given for 52 weeks.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Achievement of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) target of <115 mg/dL

    Measured: Week 52

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Achievement of LDL-C target and total cholesterol target (<190 mg/dL) concomitantly

    Measured: Week 52

  2. LDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels

    Measured: Baseline and Week 6 for base study; Baseline and Weeks 17, 34, and 52 for extension study

  3. Percent change from baseline of base study in LDL-C, HDL-C, non-HDL-C (triglycerides of >200 mg/dL), total cholesterol, and triglycerides in patients who were statin-naive at baseline of base study

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 17, 34, and 52

  4. Achievement of LDL-C target grouped according to whether patients had achieved target at the start of this extension study

    Measured: Week 52

  5. Adverse events and laboratory test changes

    Measured: Weeks 17, 34, and 52

  6. Achievement of LDL-C target

    Measured: Weeks 17 and 34

  7. Achievement of LDL-C target by diabetic patients

    Measured: Week 52

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Atorvastatin in people with Dyslipidemias, run by Pfizer's Upjohn has merged with Mylan to form Viatris Inc. at 15 sites in Belgium.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 18 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in Belgium. 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?

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?

Achievement of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) target of <115 mg/dL (time frame: Week 52). 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 18 Feb 2021.
