Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To compare the effect of rosuvastatin to protease inhibitor switching on fasting total cholesterol over 12 weeks;Secondary Objective: To compare the effects of rosuvastatin to protease inhibitor switching on: 1.Total cholesterol through week 12 2.Safety parameters (HIV viral load, clinical adverse events, serious adverse events, laboratory adverse events, modifications to antiretroviral therapy) 3.Quality of life (SF-12) 4.Fasting LDL cholesterol (estimated with Friedwald equation unless triglycerides >400mg/dL, in which case LDL-C would be measured directly), HDL cholesterol, total : HDL cholesterol ratio, LDL particles sizes, triglycerides 5.Fasting glucose and insulin 6.Framingham cardiovascular risk score 7.D:A:D 5-year estimated risk calculator;Primary end point(s): Percentage change from baseline in total cholesterol at 12 weeks;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12weeks | — |
