Brief Summary:
The hypothesis of this study is that 96 weeks of Rosuvastatin will be safe and effective in decreasing cardiovascular risk and bone loss in the HIV+ population.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
HIV Infections Heart Disease Drug: Rosuvastatin 10 mg. daily for 96 weeks Drug: Placebo Phase 2

Detailed Description:

While the use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in recent years has had an impressive impact on mortality and disease progression in HIV-infected patients, nevertheless, cardiovascular disease is a major concern impacting morbidity and mortality in this population.

This study will assess if a potent statin, rosuvastatin, could improve endothelial dysfunction, slow carotid intima media thickness (IMT) progression and bone loss, and decrease inflammation and oxidative stress in HIV-infected ART-treated subjects with good HIV virologic control. The investigators will also see if rosuvastatin will induce beneficial changes in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and lipid metabolism as well as improve bone turnover markers.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Bone Mineral Density (BMD) [ Time Frame: 96 weeks ]
    Measured by change in bone DEXA from baseline to week 96

  2. Carotid IMT [ Time Frame: 96 weeks ]
    changes in carotid IMT is a good measure for cardiovascular disease progression
