Compare Effects of Intensive Versus Conventional Lipid-lowering Therapy in Patients With Severe Atherosclerotic Renal Artery Stenosis Undergoing Stent Placement

May 25, 2018 updated by: Xiongjing Jiang, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Fuwai Hospital

A Prospective, Randomized Trial to Compare Effects of Intensive Versus Conventional Lipid-lowering Therapy in Patients With Severe Atherosclerotic Renal Artery Stenosis Undergoing Stent Placement

Although expert consensuses recommend the use of statins in the treatment of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis, in patients with severe atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis undergoing stent placement, the related investigation focused on renal protection by intensive lipid-lowering therapy is scant , and the optimal target level for lipid reduction remain uncertain. Therefore, we hypothesized that intensive lipid lowering could offer more benefits with respect to renal function in the patients with percutaneous renal artery stenting. We conducted the prospective randomized unblinded trial to compare the renal-protective effect of intensive lipid lowering with that of conventional lipid lowering in patients underwent renal artery stenting (75 patients in each study group)

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

40 years to 80 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
EXPERIMENTAL: Intensive lipid lowering group
10 mg/d rosuvastatin was initially prescribed and target LDL-C was < 1.8mmol/L
Drug: Rosuvastatin
For patients who were assigned to receive intensive lipid lowering, 10 mg/d rosuvastatin was initially prescribed and target LDL-C was < 1.8mmol/L. For patients who were assigned to receive conventional lipid lowering, 5 mg/d rosuvastatin was initially prescribed and target LDL-C was ≥1.8mmol/L, <3.3mmol/L.
OTHER: Conventional lipid lowering group
5 mg/d rosuvastatin was initially prescribed and target LDL-C was ≥1.8mmol/L, <3.3mmol/L
Drug: Rosuvastatin
For patients who were assigned to receive intensive lipid lowering, 10 mg/d rosuvastatin was initially prescribed and target LDL-C was < 1.8mmol/L. For patients who were assigned to receive conventional lipid lowering, 5 mg/d rosuvastatin was initially prescribed and target LDL-C was ≥1.8mmol/L, <3.3mmol/L.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Change in estimated glomerular filtration rate
Time Frame: 12 months after randomization

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
