About this study

Official title: Non-interventional Study to Assess Reaching of Cholesterol Target Values in Patients Treated With 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) Reductase Inhibitors in Croatia

This is a multi-centre non-interventional study of patients who are treated with any HMGCoA reductase inhibitor available in Croatia (rosuvastatin, simvastatin, atorvastatin and fluvastatin) for at least 6 months. All HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors must be prescribed in accordance with SmPCs approved in Croatia. Data collection for each patient will take place at a single visit. The investigator will complete a Case Report Form with the patient's demographics, the presence of the factors for high cardiovascular risk, current treatment, cholesterol values as well as with further treatment decision.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypercholesterolaemia, run by AstraZeneca at 27 sites in Croatia.

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 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Mar 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 27 sites in Croatia. 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.

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?

Number of patients reaching the LDL-C goals, according to the Fourth Joint European Task Force guideline (time frame: During the study visit scheduled at least 6 months after HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor has been initiated). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Mar 2012.
