Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 0 0
Determine the effect of rosuvastatin (up-titrated to a dose of 40mg/day) compared to placebo on cardiac remodelling, estimated by change in left ventricular ejection fraction on radionuclide ventriculography, at 26 weeks post randomization from baseline.

Determine the effects of rosuvastatin (up-titrated to a dose of 40mg/day) compared to placebo by measuring:
Timepoint [1] 0 0
Secondary outcome [2] 0 0
Changes from baseline at 26 weeks post-randomisation, of left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic and end-systolic diameter, and LV fraction shortening, as determined by transthoracic echocardiography.
Timepoint [2] 0 0
Secondary outcome [3] 0 0
The percentage change in lipid parameters: total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides after 6, 12 and 26 weeks post-randomisation
Timepoint [3] 0 0
Secondary outcome [4] 0 0
Changes from baseline at 26 weeks post-randomisation in neurohormonal and immunological markers: norepinephrine, endothelin, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, tumour necrosis factor a and interleukin 6.
Timepoint [4] 0 0
Secondary outcome [5] 0 0
Assess the safety of rosuvastatin over 26 weeks determined by the incidence and severity of adverse events and abnormal laboratory values.
