About this study

Official title: Protective Effect of Rosuvastatin and Antiplatelet Therapy On Contrast-induced Nephropathy and Myocardial Damage in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome Undergoing Coronary Intervention; PRATO-ACS Trial

This open-label study, prospective, randomized trial evaluating the acute (in-hospital) pleiotropic and clinical effects of a hydrophilic statin (rosuvastatin) in patients with acute coronary syndrome

Read the detailed description

The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether, in patients with acute coronary syndromes not taking statins in chronic administration, high doses of a hydrophilic statin (rosuvastatin) administered before coronary angiography and/or angioplasty, may exert a renal-protective effect by reducing the incidence of contrast nephropathy. Contrast induced nephropathy is defined as increased values of creatinine >= 0.3 mg/dl from baseline values, within 72 hours after contrast medium exposure.

Secondary end points: 1) verify if short-term (<48 hours)statin administration reduces the peak levels and the curve areas of markers of myocardial necrosis throughout the hospitalization period and if reduces the occurrence of periprocedural infarction. Biochemical markers (quantitative creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) mass and Troponin I) are measured at admission and at 6, 12, and 24 hours during the first day then once daily, immediately before angiography, and 24 hours thereafter. In patients who underwent coronary angioplasty (PCI), biochemical markers were measured at 12 and 24 hours after the procedure. Data were fitted, peak values and curve areas calculated; the occurrence of periprocedural infarction was defined as a CK-MB mass elevation more than three times the upper limit of normal within 24 hours after PCI. 2) determine the distribution of peripheral lymphocytic populations at the entry and at discharge using the flow cytometric analysis; 3) analyze the clinical composite outcome of death, myocardial infarction, urgent revascularization, dialysis and stroke at 30 days and 6 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome treated with rosuvastatin versus control

    Measured: 3 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Peak levels and curve areas of myocardial necrosis markers measured throughout the hospitalization period.

    Quantitative creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) mass and cTn I were measured at admission and at 6, 12, and 24 hours during the first day then once daily, immediately before angiography, and 24 hours thereafter. In patients who underwent angioplasty, biochemical markers were measured at 12 and 24 hours after procedure.

    Measured: 5 days (average)

  2. Distribution of peripheral lymphocyte populations at the entry and at discharge

    Comparison between groups for the distribution of peripheral lymphocyte sub-population evaluated bu Flow Cytometric Analysis at the admission and at discharge.

    Measured: 5 days (average)

  3. Incidence of clinical composite outcome (death, myocardial infarction, urgent revascularization, dialysis and stroke).

    Clinical follow-up at 30 days and 6 month after the hospitalization for the Acute Coronary Syndrome.

    Measured: 30 days and 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Rosuvastatin in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Centro Cardiopatici Toscani at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Oct 2012. 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 Italy. 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?

Incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome treated with rosuvastatin versus control (time frame: 3 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 NCT01185938, which also lists 3 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 19 Oct 2012.
