Statins clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

NCT ID: NCT03485742 Terminated - Clinical trials for Myocardial Infarction

Statin Eligibility Prior to Myocardial InfarCtion

StatinEPIC

Start date: April 22, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The study (Statin Eligibility Prior to myocardial infarction (MI) in Jordanians, StatinEPIC) is 1. Cross sectional 2. Non interventional 3. One encounter per patient. No follow up. It addresses a major issue of primary prevention in Jordanians especially the young population, namely the issue of lipid lowering agents before sustaining an acute MI. A recent study in USA showed that 50% of patients who sustained MI were not eligible to statins had they been evaluated before the heart attack. It is largely unknown if a larger percentage of Middle Eastern patients who sustain a heart attack would be eligible to receive lipid lowering agents. 4. The PI will overlook the whole process. Dr Ahmad Tamari, the assistant to the PI will asses this whole process of data collection, management and manuscript drafting.
