Atorvastatin Pre-Treatment Study In Asian Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome (ALPACS)

A Prospective Randomized, Open-Label, Parallel-Group Comparative Study: Atorvastatin Pre-Treatment Versus Usual Care In Asian Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes Undergoing Early Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

This present study is specifically designed to examine the efficacy and safety of a high pre-treatment dose of atorvastatin in Asian patients with NSTE-ACS in China and the Republic of Korea, by using a treatment paradigm similar to that employed in the ARMYDA-ACS study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) (Incidence of MACE) at 30 Days Post-percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)
Time Frame: 30 days post PCI
Percentage calculated as: (number of participants who experienced MACE [death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization] within 30 days post-PCI) divided by (number of participants who experienced PCI) * 100. Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) that occurred after 33 days post PCI were excluded.
30 days post PCI

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) (Incidence of MACE) at 8 Hours Post-PCI
Time Frame: 8 hours post PCI
Percentage calculated as: (number of participants who experienced MACE within 8 hours post-PCI) divided by (number of participants who experienced PCI) * 100.
8 hours post PCI
Percentage of Participants With Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) (Incidence of MACE) at 24 Hours Post-PCI
Time Frame: 24 hours post PCI
Percentage calculated as: (number of participants who experienced MACE within 24 hours post PCI) divided by (number of participants who experienced PCI) * 100.
24 hours post PCI
Percentage of Participants With Elevated Creatine Kinase-MB (CK-MB)
Time Frame: 8 hours, 24 hours and 30 days post PCI
CK-MB above the upper limit of normal range from baseline (biomarker of myocardial injury); normal range: 0-5.0 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL).
8 hours, 24 hours and 30 days post PCI
Percentage of Participants With Elevated Troponin I
Time Frame: 8 hours, 24 hours and 30 days post PCI
Troponin I above the upper limit of normal range from baseline (biomarker of myocardial injury): normal range: 0-0.5 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL).
8 hours, 24 hours and 30 days post PCI
Percentage of Participants With Elevated Myoglobin
Time Frame: 8 hours, 24 hours and 30 days post PCI
Myoglobin above the upper limit of normal from baseline (biomarker of myocardial injury): normal range: 0-109 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL).
8 hours, 24 hours and 30 days post PCI
Percent Change From Baseline in C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
Time Frame: Baseline, 8 hours, 24 hours and 30 days
C-reactive protein percent change from baseline = (post baseline value minus baseline value) divided by baseline value*100. Includes all CRP samples tested for the study, including samples unaffected and those samples affected by defective high-sensitivity (hs) CRP reagents.
Baseline, 8 hours, 24 hours and 30 days
