Trial summary

About this study

Official title: Rosuvastatin for Prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis in Patients Undergoing Total Knee Replacement Arthroplasty: STOP DVT - A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)is devastating disease which influencing the mortality and morbidity of patients at-risk like those undergoing orthopedic surgery.

Recent publication suggested HMO-co-A reductase inhibitor (statin) may reduce the occurrence rate of venous thromboembolism in apparently healthy persons.

The pleiotropic property of statin like antioxidant, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory may have effect on the positive results.

We are investigating whether rosuvastatin is associated with lower incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing total knee replacement arthroplasty(TKRA)who are at-high risk for developing DVT

Being tested
Rosuvastatin 20mg/d for 14days, enoxaparin only

What participants receive

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

  • Rosuvastatin 20mg/d for 14daysDrug

  • enoxaparin onlyDrug

    enoxaparin 40mg sq/day only starting 12hr before TKRA and from on day 1 to 7 after index surgery

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 2011. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Sang-Ho Jo, MD (82-31-380-3722, sophi5@medimail.co.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Development of deep vein thrombosis diagnosed and confirmed by CT angiography at lower extremities (time frame: 7days after index surgery). 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 NCT01021488, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 5 Oct 2011; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
