Purpose

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy between two lipid lowering treatments, rosuvastatin (10-40 mg) and atorvastatin (20-80 mg) in reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels after 16 weeks of treatment in patients with coronary heart disease

Study Type:	Interventional
Study Design:	Randomized, Double-Blind, Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title:	A Multicentre Study Comparing the Efficacy of Rosuvastatin With Atorvastatin When Given for a Period of 16 Wks to Subjects With Coronary Heart Disease & a Previously Performed Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Further study details as provided by AstraZeneca:

Primary Outcome Measures:

Compare the efficacy of once daily treatment with rosuvastatin with the efficacy of treatment with atorvastatin

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Compare the impact of treatment with rosuvastatin to that of atorvastatin and simvastatin on clopidogrel initiated inhibition of platelet aggregation in a subset of subjects recruited in the Stockholm region.
Compare the impact of treatment with rosuvastatin to that of atorvastatin on clopidogrel initiated inhibition of platelet aggregation in all subjects, totally and on each dose of rosuvastatin and atorvastatin.
Compare the efficacy of treatment with rosuvastatin with the efficacy of treatment with atorvastatin in reducing LDL-C levels
Compare the efficacy of once daily treatment with rosuvastatin with that of atorvastatin in modifying levels of TC, HDL-C, TG, nonHDL-C (TC-HDL-C), LDL-C
Compare the titration schedule of rosuvastatin with that of atorvastatin.
Determine the safety by evaluating the incidence and severity of adverse events and abnormal laboratory values through 16 weeks of treatment
