About this study

Participants between the ages of 19 and 70 who were initially diagnosed with venous thromboembolism and were accompanied by dyslipidemia (LDL> = 100 mg / dl) were enrolled.

Participants diagnosed with pulmonary embolism, pulmonary embolism CT, and peripheral B-mode ultrasound (B-mode ultrasound) Only participants who do not meet the exclusion criteria should be enrolled in the study.

Once the participant is selected, the patient is informed of the study and receives the consent form.

Participants who are eligible for all of the criteria and who do not qualify as exclusion criteria should be enrolled in the study and randomly enrolled in a 1: 1 dose of rosuvastatin 20 mg once daily or equivalent. Participants who previously used statins have a wash-out period of two weeks or more Participants undergo a visit at 12 weeks after initiation of treatment. For fasting blood tests, patients visit on an empty stomach. Outpatient follow-up observes side effects after last visit and observes changes in vital signs and weight.

After 24 weeks of treatment, the participant visits for efficacy evaluation. We performed body weight, vital signs and blood tests (WBC, hemoglobin, BUN, creatinine, CRP, D-dimer, fibrinogen, PAI-1, AST, ALT, CK, total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL and LDL).

  1. Primary evaluation item: Improvement of venous insufficiency at 6 months
  2. Secondary evaluation items: Improvement of blood lipid concentration, inflammation and blood clotting at 6 months Comparison of numerical rate of change
  3. Tertiary evaluation items: recurrence of venous thrombosis
Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. The improvement rate of venous insufficiency

    Venous function test (test items according to research) - DVT doppler(thrombus, spontaneous echo contrasts, compressibility)

    Measured: 6months

  2. The improvement rate of venous insufficiency

    Venous function test (test items according to research) - Venous insufficiency doppler (reflux, reflux site)

    Measured: 6months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Comparison of changes in lab data

    Comparison of changes in blood lipid levels, inflammation, and blood coagulation

    • Test items according to standard treatment WBC, Hemoglobin, BUN, Creatinine, CRP, D-dimer, Fibrinogen, PAI-1

    Measured: 6months

  2. Comparison of changes in lab data

    Comparison of changes in blood lipid levels, inflammation, and blood coagulation

    • Test items according to research AST, ALT, CK, total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, LDL

    Measured: 6months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Rosuvastatin 20mg in people with Venous Thromboembolism and Dyslipidemias, 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 2 inclusion and 8 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 1 Aug 2025. 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.

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?

The improvement rate of venous insufficiency (time frame: 6months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Aug 2025.
