PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year

Population: 24 participants had tumors sampled for primary endpoint as per protocol. However, 1 withdrew, and only 22 of remaining participants had adequate tumor samples for analysis of apoptosis at baseline and at subsequent time points.

Expressed as the number of participants whose tumor cells showed an increase in apoptosis during atorvastatin treatment

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
Atorvastatin
n=22 Participants
Atorvastatin, 80mg tablet, was taken orally by the patient daily, beginning on study day 1. Atorvastatin: 80 mg orally once daily
Tumor Apoptosis
7 Participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year

Population: 24 participants had tumors sampled for primary endpoint as per protocol. However, 1 withdrew and 1 had an inadequate tumor samples for analysis, leaving only 22 remaining participants for analysis of apoptosis at baseline and at subsequent time points.

The validity of tumor apoptosis as a biologic endpoint was assessed by correlation to clinical response. A correlation substantially less than 1 is interpreted as a poor correlation, while a correlation near +1 or -1 is interpreted as a strong correlation.
