About this study

Official title: Non-interventional, Multicenter Clinical Trial to Investigate the Efficacy of Rosuvastatin in Patients With Hyperlipidemia and Other Cardiovascular Risk Factors.

Dyslipidemias are a major risk factor for the onset of cardiovascular disease, while early diagnosis and appropriate treatment approaches significantly reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

The aim is to provide revised Greek guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of dyslipidaemias.

The lipids of the human body are cholesterol (it is used to synthesize cell membranes, adrenal hormones and gonads and is a component of bile) and triglycerides (used as a fuel and as a storage of energy in adipose tissue). Dyslipidemias are disorders (quantitative or qualitative) of the metabolism of lipoprotein particles [low density lipoproteins (LDL), chylomic, high density lipoproteins (HDL), very low density lipoproteins (VLDL)] that carry lipids into the body.

Primary prevention in subjects aged 40-65 years with no known clinical atherosclerotic disease and without diabetes or chronic renal disease should evaluate the likelihood of a fatal cardiovascular event over the next 10 years. For this purpose, it is recommended to use the Greek version of the SCORE of the Hellenic Heart SCORE.

Read the detailed description

Rosuvastatin is a selective and competitive inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric coenzyme A (HMG-CoA), an enzyme regulating the rate of cholesterol synthesis. Its main area of action is the liver.

  • In cases of primary hypercholesterolaemia (type IIa, including familial hypercholesterolemia heterozygote) or mixed dyslipidaemia (type IIb) as a supplement to diet when dietary and other non-medication responses are inadequate.
  • In cases of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH), as a supplement to the diet and other lipid-lowering treatments.
  • In cases of slowing the progression of atherosclerosis. It is indicated as a supplemental treatment of the diet in lowering the total cholesterol (Total C) and LDL-C values.
  • In patients with hypertriglyceridaemia (excess triglycerides in the blood). Dosage and route of administration
  • In hyperlipidemia, mixed dyslipidaemia, hypertriglyceridaemia, and slowing the progression of atherosclerosis, the recommended starting dose is 10 mg once a day.
  • In homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, the recommended starting dose is 20 mg once a day.
  • In Asian patients, the recommended starting dose is 5mg once a day.
  • In patients receiving ciclosporin, the dose of rosuvastatin should be set at 5 mg, while those taking the combination of Lopinavir

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to achieve LDL-C goal

    To evaluate the efficacy of rosuvastatin in patients with hypercholesterolemia in achieving the target lipid level (LDL-C, HDL-C, T-CHOL) in patients' blood plasma

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. CV Risk Factor

    Assessing the Cardiovascular Disease Index - 10-year cardiovascular risk

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Quality of Life

    Assessing Quality of Life in patients with hypercholesterolemia and other risk factors by EQ-5D questionnaire. The EQ- 5D is a descriptive, generic instrument that has also been validated for the Greek population and consists of two parts.25 The first part is a descriptive system of five dimensions of health: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. The second part consists of a visual analogue scale (VAS), the EQ-VAS, that asks respondents to self-rate themselves on a thermometer-like grading system in order to capture variations in health states. EQ-5D health state valuations may be converted into a single summary index by applying an algorithm that attaches values to each of the levels in each dimension. Value sets have been derived for the EQ-5D scores in several countries using either the VAS or the time trade-off (TTO) valuation technique.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dyslipidemias and Hyperlipidemias, run by Elpen Pharmaceutical Co. Inc. at 1 site in Greece.

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 7 inclusion and 4 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 13 May 2019. 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 Greece. 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?

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?

Time to achieve LDL-C goal (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT03329729, which also lists 10 linked publications.

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 13 May 2019.
