Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Area Under the Curve 0-t (AUC)
Collections points from time 0 to 72 hours after the drug administration, evaluated in two periods.

Drug concentration area under the curve versus time, calculated by trapezoidal methods of time 0 to time t, where t is the time related to the last drug concentration, experimentally determined above the Quantification Limit (QL).

Area Under the Curve 0-infinite (AUC)
Collections points from time 0 to 72 hours after the drug administration, evaluated in two periods.

Drug concentration area under the curve versus time, (time 0) infinite-extrapolated, where AUC\[0-infinite\] = AUC\[0-t\] + Ct/k, where Ct is the last drug concentration, experimentally determined (above the quantification limit) in that k is the terminal phase clearance constant.

Half Life (T1/2)
Collections points from time 0 to 72 hours after the drug administration, evaluated in two periods.

Half life is calculated as ln(2) / k

Maximum concentration (Cmax)
Collections points from time 0 to 72 hours after the drug administration, evaluated in two periods.

Maximum concentration reached after drug administration

Time to Cmax (Tmax)
Collections points from time 0 to 72 hours after the drug administration, evaluated in two periods.

What phase is Crestor in?

Crestor is in Phase 1 of clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities. The Phase 1 trial has been completed, and the drug is still in the early stages of clinical testing.

What clinical trials is Crestor in?

Crestor has one completed clinical trial with the identifier NCT01711749. This was a Phase 1 bioequivalence study conducted in Brazil with 60 participants, all healthy volunteers. The trial was active-controlled and randomized, though it was not double-blind.

Is Crestor the same as rosuvastatin calcium?

Crestor is being studied as rosuvastatin calcium in clinical trials. The completed Phase 1 trial, NCT01711749, was titled 'Rosuvastatin Calcium Bioequivalence Study - Fast', indicating that Crestor refers to this form of the drug.
