About this study

Official title: The Effect of Acute HMG-CoA-Reductase Inhibition (Atorvastatin) on Renal Sodium Excretion, Renal Hemodynamics, Tubular Function and Vasoactive Hormones in Healthy Subjects During Normal and High Sodium Intake

We wanted to test the hypothesis that acute treatment with atorvastatin changes renal sodium handling, renal hemodynamics, tubular function and vasoactive hormones in healthy humans during normal and high sodium intake.

Read the detailed description

We wanted to test the hypothesis that acute treatment with atorvastatin changes renal sodium handling, renal hemodynamics, tubular function and vasoactive hormones in healthy humans during normal and high sodium intake.

We wanted to analyze if changes in renal hemodynamics, tubular function, hormones, blood pressure and HR under acute treatment with atorvastatin depends on sodium intake.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • AtorvastatinDrug

    80 mg atorvastatin on two following days each

What is being measured

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

  1. Glomerular filtration rate, clearance of sodium and lithium, fractional excretion of sodium and lithium, U-AQP-2, total sodium excretion, free water clearance

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. AVP, Ang-II, Aldosterone, ANP, BNP, PRC, BP and HR.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Atorvastatin in people with Healthy Subjects, run by Regional Hospital Holstebro at 2 sites in Denmark.

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 9 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 May 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Denmark. 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?

Glomerular filtration rate, clearance of sodium and lithium, fractional excretion of sodium and lithium, U-AQP-2, total sodium excretion, free water clearance (time frame: 6 months). 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 15 May 2008.
