About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized Trial to Compare Effects of Intensive Versus Conventional Lipid-lowering Therapy in Patients With Severe Atherosclerotic Renal Artery Stenosis Undergoing Stent Placement

Although expert consensuses recommend the use of statins in the treatment of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis, in patients with severe atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis undergoing stent placement, the related investigation focused on renal protection by intensive lipid-lowering therapy is scant , and the optimal target level for lipid reduction remain uncertain. Therefore, we hypothesized that intensive lipid lowering could offer more benefits with respect to renal function in the patients with percutaneous renal artery stenting. We conducted the prospective randomized unblinded trial to compare the renal-protective effect of intensive lipid lowering with that of conventional lipid lowering in patients underwent renal artery stenting (75 patients in each study group)

What participants receive

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

  • RosuvastatinDrug

    For patients who were assigned to receive intensive lipid lowering, 10 mg/d rosuvastatin was initially prescribed and target LDL-C was < 1.8mmol/L. For patients who were assigned to receive conventional lipid lowering, 5 mg/d rosuvastatin was initially prescribed and target LDL-C was ≥1.8mmol/L, <3.3mmol/L.

    Measured: 12 months after randomization

  2. Change in the number of antihypertensive medications

    Measured: 12 months after randomization

  3. Change in systolic blood pressure

    Measured: 12 months after randomization

  4. Change in diastolic blood pressure

    Measured: 12 months after randomization

  5. Stent restenosis rate

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Rosuvastatin in people with Renal Artery Obstruction and Stents, run by Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Fuwai Hospital 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 5 inclusion and 6 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 29 May 2018. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 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?

Change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (time frame: 12 months after randomization). 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 29 May 2018.
