About this study

Official title: Early Use of Rosuvastatin (Crestor) in Acute Coronary Syndromes: Targeting Platelet-Leukocyte Interactions

The central hypothesis for this work is that platelet - leukocyte interactions play a critical role in the pathogenesis of acute ischemic events. The primary objective of the study is to determine if early, high-dose administration of the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor rosuvastatin in the setting of acute coronary syndrome and percutaneous coronary intervention exerts beneficial vascular effects by reducing platelet - leukocyte interactions.

Being tested
rosuvastatin, placebo
Keywords
Platelet activation, platelet leukocyte aggregates

What participants receive

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

  • rosuvastatinDrug

    Also called crestor

    Patients (n = 54) presenting acute coronary syndrome/non-ST elevation myocardial infarction who present within 8 hours of symptom-onset will be randomized to two groups to receive rosuvastatin (40 mg oral dose) or placebo at the time of presentation, in addition to standard of care (aspirin, clopidogrel, low molecular weight heparin). Blood will be collected at baseline (time of enrollment, immediately prior to drug or placebo), at 6 - 8 hours, at 18 - 24 hours, and at 30 days for analysis of platelet - leukocyte co-aggregate formation, biomarkers of platelet - leukocyte interactions, and biomarkers of myocardial necrosis. Additional samples may be collected just after revascularization, in patients undergoing PCI. The group of patients treated with rosuvastatin will be maintained on rosuvastatin 20 mg daily and the group randomized to placebo will be given rosuvastatin (20 mg oral once daily) within 48 hoursof enrollment and after planned PCI, but before hospital discharge.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing rosuvastatin in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome and Angioplasty, Transluminal, Percutaneous Coronary, run by Susan Smyth at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 15 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 28 Mar 2017. 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 United States. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Jun 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Platelet - Leukocyte Aggregates (time frame: within first 24 hours). 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 28 Mar 2017.
