Trial summary

Rationale: Combining statin treatment and physical activity is very effective for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Statins are well-tolerated by most patients, but may cause statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Physical Activity Levels and Statin Therapy: Differences Between Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Statin Users

Rationale: Combining statin treatment and physical activity is very effective for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Statins are well-tolerated by most patients, but may cause statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS).

Objective: To identify predictors for SAMS in statin users and to objectively assess physical activity levels and sedentary time between symptomatic and asymptomatic statin users.

Read the detailed description

Combining statin treatment and physical activity is very effective for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Statins are well-tolerated by most patients, but may cause statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS). Physical activity may exacerbate SAMS, producing decreased physical activity levels or statin nonadherence. However, it is unknown if daily activity patterns differ between symptomatic and asymptomatic statin users.

In this cross-sectional observational study the investigators will assess if physical activity levels and sedentary time differ between symptomatic and asymptomatic statins users. Secondly, questionnaires will be used to assess predictors of SAMS.

What is being measured

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

  1. Physical activity

    Physical activity (min/day) will be assessed using the activPAL3 micro monitor

    Measured: during 1 week

  2. Sedentary time

    Sedentary time (min/day) will be assessed using the activPAL3 micro monitor

    Measured: during 1 week

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Predictors of statin-associated muscle complaints (SAMS)

    Using questionnaires predictors of SAMS will be explored

    Measured: 1 moment (cross-sectional)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases and HMG COA Reductase Inhibitor Adverse Reaction, run by Radboud University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 3 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 18 Nov 2023. 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 Netherlands. 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?

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?

Physical activity (time frame: during 1 week). 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 18 Nov 2023.
