HILLCLIMBER is a randomized, controlled, open-label phase II trial of moderate dose statin therapy (pravastatin 40mg daily) versus high-dose statin therapy (rosuvastatin 20-40mg daily) in HIV-infected persons taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) who have coronary heart disease (CHD).


Clinical Trial Description

HILLCLIMBER is a randomized, controlled, open-label phase II trial of moderate dose statin therapy versus high-dose statin therapy in HIV-infected persons taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) who have coronary heart disease (CHD). All subjects will have an initial 2-week run-in period with pravastatin 40mg daily (Week 0 to 2). Subjects not demonstrating significant toxicity at week 2 will then be randomized to rosuvastatin 20mg (high intensity dose group) versus continuing pravastatin 40mg daily (moderate intensity group) for 12 weeks (Weeks 2 to 14). At week 6, those in the rosuvastatin arm who do not demonstrate significant toxicity and whose LDL-c is >60mg/dl and decreased by less than 25% compared with week 2 will then have doses increased to rosuvastatin 40mg. ;
