Effect of Atorvastatin on Subclinical Atherosclerosis

Not Applicable
Conditions
CMV
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04101136
Lead Sponsor
Dr Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital
Brief Summary

Statin administration is supposed to reduce subclinical atherosclerosis by decreasing LDL cholesterol levels, possibly via lipid-independent anti-inflammatory effect. Its pleiotropic properties also adding beneficial effect against CMV infection.

The investigators plan to study atorvastatin in virally- suppressed HIV-infected patients on stable ART with CMV seropositive and statin-naïve to evaluate the subclinical atherosclerosis changes assessed by carotid intima media thickness (CIMT).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Carotid intima medial tunica change(1) 0-week visit, (2) 48-week visit

Numerical changes (in millimeter) between baseline and 48 weeks. Common Carotid Artery (CCA) intima media thickness measured by using B mode imaging system (Affiniti 70 series), equipped with a linear array transducer \> 7 MHz with minimal compression (\<10:1) and footprint of at least 3 cm. This procedure is operated by certified Cardiologist.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Flow mediated vasodilatation change(1) 0-week visit, (2) 48-week visit

Numerical changes (in percentage) between baseline and 48 weeks FMD.

Using a high-resolution ultrasound linear array transducer, longitudinal images of the right brachial artery (mostly 3-15 cm above the elbow) were recorded at the baseline and for 3 minutes after cuff deflation following suprasystolic compression (50 mmHg over the systolic blood pressure) of the right forearm for 5 minutes. This procedure is operated by certified cardiologist.

Liver steatosis change(1) 0-week visit, (2) 48-week visit

Numerical changes (in dB/m) between baseline and 48 weeks. The measurement of steatosis using the Fibroscan (Echosens) equipped with CAP software. dB/m. This procedure is operated by certified hepatologist.

Fasting lipid change(1) 0-week visit, (2) 48-week visit

Numerical changes of fasting lipid profile consist of total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C and triglyceride in mg/dL. Range of fasting is 8 - 10 hours. The test is located in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital or Prodia Laboratory Clinic.

Soluble CD14 change(1) 0-week visit, (2) 48-week visit

The numerical change of sCD14 (in pg/mL) between 0-week visit and 48-week visit. This examination located in Indonesian Medical Education and Research Institute (IMERI) laboratory

Neurocognitive function change(1) 0-week visit, (2) 24-week visit, (3) 48-week visit

Mean or median changes of neurocognitive function change. Neurologist will do supervision while subject do the test. The measurement tool is questionnaire named "neurocognitive test". This item will comprising several aspects:

1. Trail making test

2. Symbol digit modalities test

3. Brief visuospatial memory test revised

4. California verbal learning test II

Community Periodontal Index (CPI)(1) 0-week visit, (2) 48-week visit

This Community Periodontal Index takes into consideration 10 teeth in the oral cavity i.e. 17, 16, 11, 26, 27, 37, 36, 31, 46 and 47 and subsequently evaluates the occurrence of gingival bleeding, presence of supra- and subgingival calculus, periodontal pockets with probing depths between 3.5-6.0 mm, as well as clinical attachment loss. This procedure done by dentist.

CPI score:

* Score 0: health periodontal conditions

* Score 1: gingival bleeding on probing

* Score 2: calculus and bleeding

* Score 3: periodontal pocket 4-5 mm

* Score 4: periodontal pocket ≥6 mm Only the worst finding from the index teeth is recorded per sextant of teeth.

beta 2-microglobulin change(1) 0-week visit, (2) 48-week visit

The numerical change of beta 2-microglobulin (in pg/mL) between 0-week visit and 48-week visit. This examination located in Indonesian Medical Education and Research Institute (IMERI) laboratory

High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) change(1) 0-week visit, (2) 48-week visit

The numerical change of hsCRP (in mg/L) between 0-week visit and 48-week visit. This examination located in Indonesian Medical Education and Research Institute (IMERI) laboratory
