About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Multicenter Clinical Trial to Assess the Effect of Atorvastatin in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome and Intended Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a loading dose of atorvastatin before percutaneous intervention procedures in acute coronary syndromes is effective to reduce major cardiovascular events(MACE).

Read the detailed description

Background: Strategies to reduce complications in acute coronary syndrome treatment have been largely studied. Due to its pleiotropic effects statins are considered an important tool on atherosclerotic plaque stability. Although, the usage of statins before percutaneous coronary intervention in acute coronary syndrome patients, has not yet been demonstrated. Objectives: Evaluate if a loading dose of atorvastatin (80mg) before percutaneous coronary intervention in acute coronary syndrome patients, followed by a reload dose 24 hours, is able to reduce major cardiovascular events (MACE); including combined outcomes such as all-cause mortality, nonfatal acute myocardial infarction, stroke or revascularization with either percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary-artery bypass grafting after 30 days. Methods: Multicentric randomised controlled clinical trial, with allocation concealment and intention to treat analysis. Competitive recruitment will involve 4,192 patients. Acute coronary syndrome patients intending to undergo percutaneous coronary intervention with or without stent placement will be randomized 1:1 to receive either atorvastatin 80mg or placebo before the coronary procedure and also a reload dosage after 24 hours from angioplasty. All patients will collect blood sample to determine CKMB levels pre and post procedure (6 to 12h and 18 to 24 hours). After 30 days, an in person interview will be performed and blood sample will be collected in order to dosage AST, ALT, CPK, and cholesterol levels. Telephonic interview will be done at 6 and 12 months to access occurrence of cardiovascular events.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Atorvastatin in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Hospital do Coracao at 1 site in Brazil.

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 5 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 17 Jun 2019. 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 Brazil. 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 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?

Major Cardiovascular Events (MACE) (time frame: 30 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 NCT01448642, 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 17 Jun 2019.
