Atorvastatin Versus Rosuvastatin on Contrast Induced Acute Kidney Injury (PRATO-ACS 2) — PRATO-ACS-2  

Acute Coronary Syndrome Clinical Trial

Official title: Impact of Early High-dose Atorvastatin Versus Rosuvastatin on Contrast Induced Acute Kidney Injury in Unselected Patients With Non- ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes Scheduled for Early Invasive Strategy.

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the project is to compare the nephro-protective effects of high-dose atorvastatin and high-dose rosuvastatin on the incidence of Contrast Induced-Acute Kidney Injury in patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes scheduled for early invasive strategy.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a prospective, single-centre, randomized study, designed to compare the nephro-protective effects of high-dose atorvastatin and high-dose rosuvastatin on the incidence of Contrast Induced-Acute Kidney Injury (CI-AKI). Consecutive statin-naïve patients admitted in the investigators institution for non-ST elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome (NSTE-ACS) and scheduled for early invasive strategy will be eligible.

Patients are randomized into two groups: 1) high-dose rosuvastatin (40 mg on-admission followed by 20 mg/day); 2) high-dose atorvastatin (80 mg on-admission followed by 40 mg/day). Randomization will be performed on-admission by computerized open-label assignment in blinded envelopes used in a consecutive fashion. All patients receive the standard pre-procedural hydration. The primary end-point is the proportion of patients with an increase in serum creatinine of ≥ 0.5 mg/dl or ≥ 25% above baseline within 72 hours after contrast medium administration. The secondary end-points are persistent worsening of renal damage (eGFR reduction >= 25% at 30 days) and cumulative adverse clinical events at follow-up. Specifically: death, myocardial infarction, dialysis, stroke or persistent renal damage at 30 days; death or myocardial infarction at 6 and 12 months. ;
