Trial Outcomes & Findings for Anti-inflammatory Effects of Simvastatin (NCT NCT04638400)

NCT ID: NCT04638400

Last Updated: 2024-11-08

Results Overview

Percentage change in mRNA expression of CD68 in MNC following cream challenge at weeks 0 and 6 of treatment with simvastatin or ezetimibe. Percent change (using the formula: (x-y)/y\*100) is calculated using data collected before (0hr) and after the cream challenge (peak effect) at weeks 0 and 6 of treatment with simvastatin or ezetimibe.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 weeks

Percentage change in mRNA expression of PECAM on MNC following cream challenge before and after 6 weeks of treatment with simvastatin or ezetimibe. Percent change (using the formula: (x-y)/y\*100) was calculated using data collected before (0hr) and after the cream challenge (peak effect) at weeks 0 and 6 of treatment with simvastatin or ezetimibe.
