Trial summary

The purpose of the study is to see if statin therapy will optimize myocardial response to cardiopulmonary bypass during aortic valve replacement (AVR) for aortic valve stenosis (AVS) (Phase I) and optimize left ventricular reverse remodeling following AVR (Phase II). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Interest of Statin in Surgical Aortic Stenosis: From Myocardial Preconditioning to Ventricular Reverse Remodeling.

The purpose of the study is to see if statin therapy will optimize myocardial response to cardiopulmonary bypass during aortic valve replacement (AVR) for aortic valve stenosis (AVS) (Phase I) and optimize left ventricular reverse remodeling following AVR (Phase II). Preliminary evidence indicates that perioperative statin therapy reduce mortality and morbidity following cardiac surgery. Pleiotropic effects of statins may induce myocardial preconditioning and optimize myocardial and systemic responses to cardiopulmonary bypass during AVR. Furthermore statin therapy after AVR may contribute to an optimal left ventricular reverse remodeling.

What is being measured

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

  1. ♦ Phase I: To study changes on inflammatory markers after aortic valve replacement. ♦ Phase II: To study changes in left ventricular mass at the end of the study (12 months).

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Phase I: To study changes on mitochondrial function, reactive oxygen species, and perioperative systolic and diastolic functions. Phase II: To study changes on clinical status, systolic and diastolic functions during the one-year follow-up.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Atorvastatin 80 mg in people with Aortic Valve Stenosis and Ventricular Hypertrophy, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France at 1 site 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 6 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jun 2015. 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 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Michel KINDO, MD (33.3.69.55.08.11, michel.kindo@chru-strasbourg.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

♦ Phase I: To study changes on inflammatory markers after aortic valve replacement. ♦ Phase II: To study changes in left ventricular mass at the end of the study (12 months). (time frame: 1 year). 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 19 Jun 2015.
