What is being measured

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

  1. Relative Change in Reactive Hyperemia Index (RHI)

    Endothelial function assessed with peripheral arterial tonometry, expressed as the reactive hyperemia index (RHI) as a marker for subclinical atherosclerosis and future cardiovascular risk assessment.

    Measured: Baseline to 3 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Relative Change in FEV1

    Measured: Baseline to 3 months

  2. Relative Change in High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein

    Measured: Baseline to 3 months

  3. Relative Change in Interleukin 6

    Measured: Baseline to 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Rosuvastatin in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by University Hospital, Akershus at 1 site in Norway.

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 20 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 8 Oct 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 Norway. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 8 Oct 2015). 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?

Relative Change in Reactive Hyperemia Index (RHI) (time frame: Baseline to 3 months). 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 8 Oct 2015.
