Hypercholesteremia

Brief summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate that 76 weeks of treatment with rosuvastatin calcium 2.5-20 mg results in no progression of coronary artery atherosclerotic volume as measured by intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) imaging in hypercholesterolaemic subjects with coronary heart disease (CHD).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percent Change From Baseline (Before the Start of Rosuvastatin Treatment) to Week 76 in the Plaque Volume (PV)Baseline and 76 weeksPlaque volume will be assessed by volumetric analysis with the echoPlaque2 system (Indec Systems Inc). Baseline and follow-up IVUS images will be reviewed side-by-side on a display, and the target segment selected. The target segment to be monitored will be determined in a non-PCI site (\>5 mm proximal or distal to the PCI site) with a reproducible index such as side branches, calcifications, or stent edges.

Pre-assignment details

Observation Period :Prior to study-related activities, all subjects will sign an informed consent form. IVUS and CAG is performed prior Treatment Treatment Period: Eligible patients started treatment; rosuvastatin 2.5 mg once daily; those whose LDL-C remained \>80 mg/dl after 4 wks of treatment, the dose can be titrated to a maximum of 20 mg/day

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Rosuvastatin
rosuvastatin 2.5 mg once daily; in those whose LDL-C remained \>80 mg/dl after 4 weeks of treatment, the dosage could be titrated up to a maximum of 20 mg/day, which is the highest approved regimen by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan. Subjects attended follow-up visits every 4 weeks over 76 weeks after starting treatment with rosuvastatin.

The target segment to be monitored will be determined in a non-PCI site (\>5 mm proximal or distal to the PCI site) with a reproducible index such as side branches, calcifications, or stent edges.
