Trial summary

The patients who have achieved LDL-C levels below the currently recommended targets may still experience cardiovascular events. To reduce further the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), raising HDL-C and lowering TG may be the secondary therapeutic target. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Rosuvastatin on Function of High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

The patients who have achieved LDL-C levels below the currently recommended targets may still experience cardiovascular events. To reduce further the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), raising HDL-C and lowering TG may be the secondary therapeutic target. However, increased HDL-C levels do not mean increase in functional HDL-C. It also remains controversial whether functional HDL is more important than total circulating levels of HDL-C in reducing CHD.

Actually, the increased concentration of HDL alone might be ineffective indicating that qualitative changes in HDL levels in response to drug interventions are required to result in clinical benefit.

The investigators set up a clinical trial investigating effect of (rosuva)statin treatment on functional HDL-C levels particularly in Asian populations, who have relatively low HDL-C.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Rosuvastatin in people with Diabetes, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital 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 4 inclusion and 11 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 3 May 2016. 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. 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?

Functional HDL-C (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 NCT02185963, 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 3 May 2016.
