Trial summary

Statins (or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) have largely proven their efficacy in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events. Many clinical and experimental studies support also a potential beneficial effect of statin therapy on venous thromboembolism (VTE). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Rosuvastatin in the Prevention of Arterial and Venous Vascular Events and Mortality After Hip Fracture: A Multicenter Randomised, Double-blinded, Placebo Controlled Trial.

Statins (or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) have largely proven their efficacy in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events. Many clinical and experimental studies support also a potential beneficial effect of statin therapy on venous thromboembolism (VTE). Patients with hip fracture are at high risk of VTE and cardiovascular events.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and the tolerance of a statin (rosuvastatin) in hip fracture surgery on the occurrence of venous and atherothrombotic events and the global mortality at six months.

Subjects aged 60 years or over who are scheduled to undergo surgery for fracture of the upper portion of the femur (hip fracture) are eligible to participate to this multicentre, randomized, double-blind placebo controlled trial. They will receive either rosuvastatin (5 or 20 mg) or placebo for 6 months. The primary efficacy outcome is the incidence of an adjudicated composite of non fatal VTE, acute coronary syndrome, non fatal stroke, other acute ischemic arterial event, or all-cause death.

Assuming a endpoint frequency of 20% in the control group, we calculated that 1200 patients will be required for the study to have 80% power to detect a 30% reduction in the relative risk with rosuvastatin (with a two-sided alpha level of 5%).

The investigators assumed that rosuvastatin could have a positive benefit-risk ratio in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery for hip fracture, by reducing vascular events and global mortality at six months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Rosuvastatin in people with Hip Fracture, run by University Hospital, Brest at 6 sites in France.

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Sep 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in France. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Decision of the Steering Committee. Recruitment more difficult and slower than expected.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Occurence of Arterial and Venous Vascular Events and Mortality (time frame: 6 months). 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 Sep 2012.
