About this study

Official title: Cardiovascular Risk Markers Before and After Therapy With Statins in Patients With History of Kawasaki Disease

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Chilean children with history of Kawasaki disease have endothelial dysfunction years after the acute phase of the disease, and if this condition can be modified by treatment with statins.

Read the detailed description

Kawasaki disease (KD) in its acute phase produces endothelial inflammation that can lead to dilatation and aneurysms of coronary and peripheral arteries. This initial injury leads to persistent endothelial dysfunction several years after having the disease. As a consequence, these patients may have a higher cardiovascular risk than general population. Studies with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) have suggested that these have an anti-inflammatory effect over the endothelium, that may be independent of its lipid-lowering effects. The hypothesis of this study is that KD produces endothelial dysfunction that is persistent years after acute disease, and that this dysfunction can be modified by treatment with statins.The study consists of two phases. On the first we will perform ultrasound assessment of endothelial-dependent flow-mediated vasodilation of the brachial artery and evaluate other cardiovascular risk markers in patients and healthy controls. On the second phase patients with history of Kawasaki disease will be randomized and allocated to treatment with Pravastatin or placebo, after which a new evaluation of flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery and cardiovascular risk markers will be performed.

Comparison(s): Children older than 8 years of age with history of Kawasaki disease more than 12 months before enrollment, compared with paired by age children without history of KD or other cardiovascular risk factors.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing pravastatin in people with Kawasaki Disease, run by Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile at 1 site in Chile.

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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 May 2016.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 Chile. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Percent of change in brachial artery dilatation after statin therapy. 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 NCT00305201, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 24 May 2016.
