Trial summary

Although statin prior to PCI has favorable effects in stable angina and ACS except ST elevation MI (STEMI), there have been few studies for STEMI. Celik T et al. reported in patients with STEMI that prior statin use may improve coronary blood flow after PCI in patients with AMI, possibly by its beneficial effects on… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Efficacy of High Dose Atorvastatin Loading in ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Although statin prior to PCI has favorable effects in stable angina and ACS except ST elevation MI (STEMI), there have been few studies for STEMI. Celik T et al. reported in patients with STEMI that prior statin use may improve coronary blood flow after PCI in patients with AMI, possibly by its beneficial effects on microvascular function. But this study was retrospective, non-randomized study and evaluated the effects for chronic statin therapy not acute high dose effect. Therefore, the investigators investigated whether acute high-dose statin prior to primary PCI in ST segment elevation myocardial infarction can have beneficial effect or not for periprocedural period and 30 days-cardiac events.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the effect of high dose atorvastatin in STEMI - 30 Days MACE(death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization)

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To evaluate the safety of high dose atorvastatin in STEMI - TIMI flow at before and after PCI - Myocardial blush grade after PCI - Procedural success (No reflow incidence) - MACE at 6 month - Periprocedural MI

    Measured: immediate, 30 days, 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Atorvastatin in people with Myocardial Infarction and Angioplasty, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 15 Jul 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 South Korea. 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?

To evaluate the effect of high dose atorvastatin in STEMI - 30 Days MACE(death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization) (time frame: 30 days). 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 NCT00808717, 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 15 Jul 2009.
