About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Single-centre Randomized Study Evaluating the Effect of Treatment With Rosuvastatin 5/20mg on Atherosclerotic Disease as Measured by High-Resolution Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease and Hyperlipideimia

The aim of this study is to assess whether high intensive statin therapy could regress carotid atherosclerotic plaques as determined by High-Resolution Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance imaging (CE-MRI).

Enrolled patients have a baseline CE-MRI examination for screening carotid atherosclerotic plaques and are randomized to either low dose of Rosuvastatin (5mg) group or high dose of Rosuvastatin (20mg) group. After 26 weeks, all patients received CE-MRI examination again and each pair of baseline and follow-up CE-MRI assessments was analyzed in a blinded fashion. Moreover, lipid level and major adverse cardiovascular events are also evaluated during follow-up.

Being tested
Rosuvastatin 5mg, Rosuvastatin 20mg

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To evaluate whether 26 weeks of treatment with 5/20mg rosuvastatin results in regression of carotid atherosclerotic plaques as measured by CE-MRI

    Measured: 26 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. major adverse cardiovascular events

    Measured: 26 weeks

  2. To evaluate the change in lipid and lipoprotein levels as assessed by percentage change from baseline.

    Measured: 26 weeks

  3. To evaluate the change from baseline in liver function (AST/ALT) at 26 weeks

    Measured: 26 weeks

  4. To evaluate the change from baseline in renal function (serum creatine) at 26 weeks

    Measured: 26 weeks

  5. To evaluate the change from baseline in creatine kinase at 26 weeks

    Measured: 26 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Rosuvastatin 5mg and Rosuvastatin 20mg in people with Arteriosclerosis and Diabetes Mellitus, run by Capital Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jul 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Buxing Chen, MD, Ph.D (861067096572, chbux@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate whether 26 weeks of treatment with 5/20mg rosuvastatin results in regression of carotid atherosclerotic plaques as measured by CE-MRI (time frame: 26 weeks). 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 21 Jul 2016.
