About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Atorvastatin 40mg Versus Rosuvastatin 20mg in Type II Diabetic Patients With Previous Acute Coronary Syndrome : Randomized Clinical Trial

The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of high dose atorvastatin (40 mg) versus high dose rosuvastatin (20 mg) in Egyptian type II diabetic patients with previous acute coronary syndrome history. This open-labeled prospective, randomized clinical trial compared once daily atorvastatin 40mg (Ator®) versus once daily rosuvastatin 20mg (Crestor®). The primary outcome was the 50% reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels at 12 weeks. The secondary outcome was the achievement of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level < 55 mg/dl.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Atorvastatin 40 Mg Oral Tablet and Rosuvastatin 20 Mg Oral Tablet in people with Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA Reductase Inhibitors and Diabetes Mellitus, run by Helwan University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 6 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 1 Apr 2022. 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 Egypt. 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?

Mean Change from baseline in Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) (time frame: Post intervention at week 12). 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 1 Apr 2022.
