  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Eligible subjects were male or female subjects, age >18 years, with clinically documented coronary artery disease and life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias who met the following criteria:
  • Were scheduled for an ICD implantation or had an ICD implantation within 1 month, according to the class I American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) practice guidelines for ICD therapy
  • OR
  • Were already treated with an ICD for a class I ACC/AHA indication for more than one month, provided they received at least one appropriate ICD intervention (shock or antitachycardia pacing (ATP) for ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation) during the preceding six months

Who cannot join

  • Patients with ventricular arrhythmias in the acute phase of myocardial infarction (first 48 hours).
  • Patients with incessant ventricular tachycardia.
  • Patients with ventricular arrhythmias without underlying coronary artery disease.

About this study

Official title: Cholesterol Lowering and Arrhythmia Recurrences After Internal Defibrillator Implantation (CLARIDI)

To assess in patients with CAD [coronary artery disease] and an implantable defibrillator the effect of atorvastatin 80 mg versus placebo on the first recurrence of a ventricular arrhythmia (ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation requiring ICD [implantable cardioverter defibrillator] intervention) within one year after randomization.

What participants receive

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

  • Atorvastatin 80mgDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess in patients with CAD and an implantable defibrillator the effect of atorvastatin 80 mg versus placebo on the first recurrence of a ventricular arrhythmia after randomisation.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Combined total mortality and major cardiovascular events.

  2. Major cardiovascular events include acute myocardial infarction, stroke and PTCA [percutaneous coronary angioplasty] (with or without stenting) or CABG [coronary artery bypass graft] (CABG already foreseen at the moment of randomization).

  3. Total number of appropriate ICD interventions for ventricular arrhythmias and total number of episodes of electrical storm.

  4. An episode of electrical storm is defined as the occurrence within 24 hours of three or more ventricular arrhythmias requiring ICD intervention.

  5. Combined total mortality, major cardiovascular events and total number of appropriate ICD interventions for ventricular arrhythmias.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Atorvastatin 80mg in people with Arrhythmia, run by Pfizer's Upjohn has merged with Mylan to form Viatris Inc. at 10 sites in 2 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Belgium, Greece. 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 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?

To assess in patients with CAD and an implantable defibrillator the effect of atorvastatin 80 mg versus placebo on the first recurrence of a ventricular arrhythmia after randomisation.. 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?
