About this study

Official title: Intensive Lipid Lowering Treatment in Patients With Non-ST-elevation ACS Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

PCI has been one of the most common choice of treatments for patients with coronary artery disease, and studies indicated that intensive statin treatment before PCI could reduce adverse events as comparing to the placebo. In China, statin with regular dose is currently applied to the patients admitted for Non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Here we hypothesize that intensive statin treatment with arovastatin before PCI could further reduce clinical adverse events.

What participants receive

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

  • AtorvastatinDrug

    patients admitted for Non-ST elevation ACS will be treated by atorvastatin 20md/d for one year

  • AtorvastatinDrug

    patients admitted with Non-ST elevation ACS will be loaded with atorvastatin 80mg once, continued with 40mg/d for 30d, then change to 20mg/d, as a regular dose in China

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary end point was the composite of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), including cardiac death, non-fatal reinfarction, and target vessel revascularization (TVR) at one-year clinical follow-up after randomization.

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. rate of peri-procedural myocardial infarction

    Measured: 30days

  2. MACE at 30d after randomization 3. changes of left ventricular function at 30d after randomization

    Measured: 30 days

  3. changes of left ventricular function at 30d after randomization

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Atorvastatin in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

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 4 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 15 Jun 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 China. 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 Qi Zhang, MD (+862164370045 ext. 665380, zhangqnh@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary end point was the composite of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), including cardiac death, non-fatal reinfarction, and target vessel revascularization (TVR) at one-year clinical follow-up after randomization. (time frame: one 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 15 Jun 2011.
