About this study

Official title: Impact of Early High-dose Atorvastatin Versus Rosuvastatin on Contrast Induced Acute Kidney Injury in Unselected Patients With Non- ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes Scheduled for Early Invasive Strategy.

The aim of the project is to compare the nephro-protective effects of high-dose atorvastatin and high-dose rosuvastatin on the incidence of Contrast Induced-Acute Kidney Injury in patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes scheduled for early invasive strategy.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, single-centre, randomized study, designed to compare the nephro-protective effects of high-dose atorvastatin and high-dose rosuvastatin on the incidence of Contrast Induced-Acute Kidney Injury (CI-AKI). Consecutive statin-naïve patients admitted in the investigators institution for non-ST elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome (NSTE-ACS) and scheduled for early invasive strategy will be eligible.

Patients are randomized into two groups: 1) high-dose rosuvastatin (40 mg on-admission followed by 20 mg/day); 2) high-dose atorvastatin (80 mg on-admission followed by 40 mg/day). Randomization will be performed on-admission by computerized open-label assignment in blinded envelopes used in a consecutive fashion. All patients receive the standard pre-procedural hydration. The primary end-point is the proportion of patients with an increase in serum creatinine of ≥ 0.5 mg/dl or ≥ 25% above baseline within 72 hours after contrast medium administration. The secondary end-points are persistent worsening of renal damage (eGFR reduction >= 25% at 30 days) and cumulative adverse clinical events at follow-up. Specifically: death, myocardial infarction, dialysis, stroke or persistent renal damage at 30 days; death or myocardial infarction at 6 and 12 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Contrast Induced-Acute Kidney Injury

    Increase in serum creatinine ≥ 0.5 mg/dl or ≥ 25 % within 72 hours of contrast medium exposure

    Measured: 72 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Renal function at 30 days

    Estimation of the glomerular filtration rate in all patients at 30 days

    Measured: 30 days after discharge

  2. Cardiovascular and renal outcome

    Composite cardiovascular and renal events at follow-up including acute renal failure requiring dialysis, persistent renal damage, all-causes mortality, myocardial infarction or stroke.

    Measured: 30 days, 6 months, 12 months

  3. Anti-inflammatory effect of rosuvastatin and atorvastatin

    High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)will be measured on admission, at discharge and at 30 days.

    Measured: On admission (baseline), at discharge (after 5 days) & at 30 days

  4. Lipid-modulatory effects of atorvastatin and rosuvastatin

    Low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels will be determined on admission, at discharge and at 30 days.

    Measured: On admission (baseline), at discharge (after 5 days) & at 30 days

  5. Myocardial Damage

    Total cardiac biomarkers release during the index event

    Measured: During hospitalization (average 5 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Rosuvastatin and Atorvastatin in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Centro Cardiopatici Toscani at 1 site in Italy.

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 8 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 6 Oct 2016. 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 Italy. 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?

Contrast Induced-Acute Kidney Injury (time frame: 72 hours). 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 NCT01870804, 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 6 Oct 2016.
