About this study

Does caffeine reduce rosuvastatin induced protection against ischemia reperfusion injury?

Read the detailed description

Rosuvastatin is a proven cholesterol lowering medicine, which hereby is assumed to achieve a reduction in cardiovascular events. Apart from it's cholesterol lowering action, rosuvastatin may also increase tolerance against ischemia-reperfusion injury. In dogs rosuvastatin increases the endogenous concentration of adenosine, by enhancing the activity of the enzyme ecto-5'-nucleotidase, which converts adenosine monophosphate into adenosine. We hypothesize that rosuvastatin increases tolerance against ischemia-reperfusion injury by induction of ecto-5'-nucleotidase and thereby increasing adenosine activity. This protective effect of rosuvastatin can be abrogated by using the adenosine receptor antagonist caffeine.

What is being measured

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

  1. The targeting of Technetium 99 labeled Annexin A5 is recorded with a gamma camera as a endpoint measure of ischemia-reperfusion damage.

    Measured: 60 and 240 minutes after ischemic exercise

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Workload (product of 50% of the maximum forearm force and duration of the ischemic exercise)

    Measured: during 10 minutes of ischemic exercise

  2. The effect of one-week treatment of rosuvastatin 20mg once daily on lipid spectrum.

    Measured: before and after 7day treatment

  3. The caffeine serum concentration after 24 hour abstinence .

    Measured: morning after 24 hours abstinence of caffeine

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Rosuvastatin in people with Ischemia Reperfusion Injury, 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 3 inclusion and 11 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 15 Apr 2008. 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. 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 targeting of Technetium 99 labeled Annexin A5 is recorded with a gamma camera as a endpoint measure of ischemia-reperfusion damage. (time frame: 60 and 240 minutes after ischemic exercise). 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 NCT00457652, which also lists 2 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 15 Apr 2008.
