What participants receive

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

  • RosuvastatinDrug

    Also called RSV

    Randomized Treatment Period (Day 1 through Day 14): 20 mg once daily for 14 days.

    Follow up Period (Day 15 through Day 90) Subjects in both groups who enter the follow up period will receive rosuvastatin 10mg/day.

  • ControlOther

    Randomized Treatment Period (Day 1 through Day 14):

    No treatment of rosuvastatin for control group. Follow up Period (Day 15 through Day 90) Subjects in both groups who enter the follow up period will receive rosuvastatin 10mg/day.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent changes in infarction volumes measured by MRI on the 14th day compared with the baseline of the stroke

    Measured: 0-14d

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Absolute changes in infarction volumes measured by MRI on the 14th day compared with the baseline of the stroke

    Measured: 0-14d

  2. Proportion of patients whose infarction volume reduced on the 14th day compared with the baseline of the stroke

    Measured: 0-14d

  3. The neurological outcomes measured by NIHSS (14,90 days), compared between statin group and standard group

    Measured: 14-90d

  4. The functional outcome measured by modified Rankin Scale (14,90 days), compared between statin group and standard group

    Measured: 14-90d

  5. The rate of the new-onset infarct assessed by MRI from baseline to 14th day, compared between statin group and standard group

    Measured: 0-14d

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Rosuvastatin in people with Ischemic, run by RenJi Hospital.

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 8 inclusion and 19 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 31 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Percent changes in infarction volumes measured by MRI on the 14th day compared with the baseline of the stroke (time frame: 0-14d). 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 31 Dec 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
