Trial Outcomes & Findings for Quality of Life in Patients With Statin-Associated Myopathy (NCT NCT00850460)

NCT ID: NCT00850460

Last Updated: 2016-11-07

Results Overview

Scores from the self-administered INQoL questionnaire will be compared at the start of the study (Week 0) and at the end (Week 8) between the statin-treated group and the placebo group. Scores range from 0-100, with 100 being a better outcome. Measures reported are the means of Week 0 and week 8, measures of dispersion is the range of the results (3 per group).

Participant Flow

Advertisements were placed (internet, radio, print) and a screening phone questionnaire was administered by study staff to determine potential inclusion. A collaboration with the Metropolitan Hospital (NY) was also established for potential referrals.

Subjects in whom statins are possibly causative, using the World Health Organization (WHO)-Causality Assessment form, were invited to the outpatient clinic for 2 screening visits. Subjects found to be at high risk for cardiovascular events and those unwilling to be shifted to placebo were not enrolled.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 0 to Week 8

Population: Three patients from each group completed the questionnaire portion of the study at Week 0 and Week 8.

Scores from the self-administered INQoL questionnaire will be compared at the start of the study (Week 0) and at the end (Week 8) between the statin-treated group and the placebo group. Scores range from 0-100, with 100 being a better outcome. Measures reported are the means of Week 0 and week 8, measures of dispersion is the range of the results (3 per group).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 0 to Week 8

Population: Three patients from each group completed the questionnaire portion of the study at Week 0 and Week 8.

Scores from the self-administered SF-36 (Physical component) questionnaire were measured at the start (Week 0) of the study and at the end (Week 8) among patients in the placebo- and statin-treated group. Mean scores range from 0 (minimum) - 100 (maximum) with higher mean scores reflecting better outcomes. Measures reported are the means of Week 0 and week 8, measures of dispersion is the range of scores.
