What participants receive

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

  • atrovastatinDrug

    Atrovastatin 80mg was administered orally on the evening before surgery. Before anesthesia induction, atrovastatin 40mg was administered orally. And atrovastatin 40mg were administered orally in the evening of postoperative days 0, 1, and 2.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Placebo 80mg was administered orally on the evening before surgery. Before anesthesia induction, placebo 40mg was administered orally. And placebo 40mg were administered orally in the evening of postoperative days 0, 1, and 2.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing atrovastatin in people with Acute Kidney Injury, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 10 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 28 Mar 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 South Korea. 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.

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?

Comparison of postoperative renal function with or without statin in patients undergoing valvular heart surgery (time frame: renal function change from 24-hour after surgery to 120-hour after surery). 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 NCT01909739, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 Mar 2019.
