A Prospective, Double-blinded, Randomised Study to Evaluate the Effects of Different Doses of Statin Treatment on Plaque Volume and Composition in Coronary Disease Determined by Virtual Histology Using Intravascular Ultrasound
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Atorvastatin 10mg versus 40mg. for Coronary Disease and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
While statin treatment may induce plaque regression, the effect of statin on plaque composition with varying doses is unknown. This study assessed such effects by volumetric virtual histology intravascular ultrasound (VH-IVUS). In this prospective, randomized, double-blinded pilot study, statin-naïve patients with stable angina requiring percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were randomized to receive 6 months of either atorvastatin 10mg or 40 mg daily. VH-IVUS was performed in all non-PCI lesions at baseline and 6 months; all analyses were performed by core laboratory.

Interventions
2 arms comparing atorvastatin 10mg daily for 6 months to atorvastatin 40mg daily for 6 months. The primary endpoint would be the 6 months VH-IVUS findings and clinical outcomes.
