Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of long-term therapy with rosuvastatin compared with a placebo, and to evaluate whether treatment with rosuvastatin might be effective in reducing the risk of major cardiovascular events.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Investigate whether long-term treatment with rosuvastatin compared with placebo will decrease the rate of major cardiovascular events

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Investigate the safety of long-term treatment with rosuvastatin compared with placebo through comparisons of total mortality, noncardiovascular mortality, & adverse events
Investigate whether therapy with rosuvastatin reduces the incidence of diabetes mellitus, venous thromboembolic events, & the incidence of bone fractures.

Estimated Enrollment:	15000
Study Start Date:	February 2003
Study Completion Date:	August 2008
Primary Completion Date:	August 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Detailed Description:

AstraZeneca announced it has decided to stop the CRESTOR JUPITER clinical study early based on a recommendation from an Independent Data Monitoring Board and the JUPITER Steering Committee, which met on March 29, 2008. The study will be stopped early because there is unequivocal evidence of a reduction in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality amongst patients who received CRESTOR when compared to placebo.
