Sponsor: AstraZeneca
Information provided by: AstraZeneca
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00239681
  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of long-term therapy with rosuvastatin compared with a placebo, and to evaluate whether treatment with rosuvastatin might be effective in reducing the risk of major cardiovascular events.


Condition Intervention Phase
Elevated hs C-Reactive Protein
Drug: Rosuvastatin
Phase III

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Prevention, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled, Multicenter, Phase 3 Study of Rosuvastatin (CRESTOR®) 20 mg in the Prevention of Cardiovascular Events Among Subjects With Low Levels of LDL Cholesterol & Elevated Levels of C-Reactive Protein

Further study details as provided by AstraZeneca:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Investigate whether long-term treatment with rosuvastatin compared with placebo will decrease the rate of major cardiovascular events

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Investigate the safety of long-term treatment with rosuvastatin compared with placebo through comparisons of total mortality, noncardiovascular mortality, & adverse events
  • Investigate whether therapy with rosuvastatin reduces the incidence of diabetes mellitus, venous thromboembolic events, & the incidence of bone fractures.

Estimated Enrollment: 15000
Study Start Date: February 2003
Study Completion Date: August 2008
Primary Completion Date: August 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

AstraZeneca announced it has decided to stop the CRESTOR JUPITER clinical study early based on a recommendation from an Independent Data Monitoring Board and the JUPITER Steering Committee, which met on March 29, 2008. The study will be stopped early because there is unequivocal evidence of a reduction in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality amongst patients who received CRESTOR when compared to placebo.
