What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of atorvastatin and its active metabolites

    Time frame: 4 and 8 weeks

  2. Peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of atorvastatin and its active metabolites

    Time frame: 4 and 8 weeks

  3. Number of subjects with adverse events, clinical lab abnormalities and other safety findings

    Time frame: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 29, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
