About this study

Official title: Association Analysis Between Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Statin-Related Genes and The Incidence of Myopathy Among Statin-Treated Patients

To observe not only the distribution of single nucleotide polymorphism in genes related with pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetics alteration of statins but also to analyze the correlation between these SNPs and the incidence of statins-induced myopathy.

Read the detailed description

Statins are widely prescribed for the patients with hypercholesterolemia.

Though their efficacy in preventing cardiovascular events has been shown by a large number of clinical trials, myotoxic side effects including myopathy or even more severe,rhabdomyolysis are associated with the use of statins.

Because the incidence of myopathy is various among individuals,polymorphism in genes is supposed to be the main factor.

Due to single nucleotide polymorphism in related genes,level of uptake, clearance and metabolism of statins can be seriously different among individuals resulting in various occurrence of myopathy.

Therefore, analytical study in association between SNP of statins-related genes and the incidence of myopathy is such a critical research which can be applied into clinical fields.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rhabdomyolysis and Myopathy, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Oct 2007. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yen-Hui Chen, PhD (886-2-2312-3456 ext. 8397, tcyhchen@ntu.edu.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

genotype of specific genes (time frame: one day). 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 NCT00549029, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Oct 2007.
