简要总结
Rationale: After having a spinal cord injury (SCI), people develop changes in their body composition that influences their long-term health. Individuals with paralysis after SCI will have large declines in their bone density ant increases in fat mass which increases their risk of fracture and heart disease. Therapies to prevent SCI-related changes in body composition and their health effects are needed. Drugs known as "statins" used often to reduce high cholesterol, may help to reduce bone loss and inflammation.
Hypothesis: Among adults with SCI for a long time, treatment with a drug named Rosuvastatin or a sugar pill, with supplements (coenzyme Q10, calcium and vitamin D), for twelve months can decrease their endocrine metabolic disease risk by increasing bone density and reducing inflammation.
Study Design: A clinical trial will be conducted in Toronto, Ontario and Miami, Florida. Subjects will get statin therapy or placebo (sugar pill) by chance. Study subjects and research staff will not know whether they are taking the study drug or a sugar pill until after the study
Subjects: Fifty-four adults (age 18-60 years) with a long-term SCI and no movement below their level of injury.
Treatment: Subjects will be prescribed Rosuvastatin 10 mg daily or a sugar pill. In addition, all subjects will receive 100 mg of Co-Q10 daily, calcium carbonate 1250 mg and, vitamin D 2,000 IU once a day.
Data Collected: Subjects' bone density will be collected at the start and end of the study. Change in bone density between the two groups will be compared to see if one is better. Blood samples will be collected quarterly to make sure subjects are safe and do not develop problems with their liver or muscles and to measure the effects of the study drugs on inflammation throughout the body.
Clinical Implications: Statins may be safe and effective therapy for adults living with SCI who are at increased risk of endocrine metabolic disease as they age.
详细描述
Rationale: Individuals with motor-complete spinal cord injury (SCI) undergo dramatic changes in body composition in the first 18 months post-injury, including declines in bone mineral density (BMD) that increase lower-extremity fragility fracture risk, and increases in fat mass that increase cardio-metabolic disease (CMD) risk. While statins are an effective treatment for dyslipidemia, research evidence suggests additional pleiotropic effects on bone through promotion of osteogenesis, suppression of osteoblast apoptosis, and inhibition of osteoclastogenesis. There are currently no effective therapies to treat sublesional osteoporosis (SLOP) and reduce the risk of fragility fractures in individuals with SCI.
Hypothesis: Twelve months of statin therapy with concurrent coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), to reduce risk of statin neuromyotoxicity, and standard care (calcium 1250mg OD and vitamin D3 2000IU OD) will be superior to placebo with CoQ10 and standard care, for augmenting knee region BMD and reducing inflammatory stress (hs-CRP), thereby reducing endocrine metabolic disease risk.
Objective: To determine the safety and efficacy of statin therapy for augmenting distal femoral BMD among adults with chronic motor-complete SCI in Toronto, Ontario and Miami, Florida.
Study Design: Multi-centre, double-blind, randomized controlled Phase II safety and efficacy trial.
Subjects: Consenting men and premenopausal women (N=54, age 18-60 yrs) with chronic (≥2 years) spinal cord injury with a neurological level between C1-T10 and an AIS category of A/B.

排除标准
- •These criteria are intended to exclude those in whom; Rosuvastatin would be unsafe, DXA/pQCT measurement or biomarker assessment would be invalid, or in whom other co-morbid health conditions may confound the study results. Exclusion criteria include:

- •Current treatment with IV bisphosphonate, denosumab, recombinant PTH, ovarian hormone therapy, an oral contraceptive, Immunosuppressants (Including Cyclosporine) and fusidic acid.
- •Known allergy to Rosuvastatin, lactose powder, CoQ10, calcium carbonate, vitamin D2 and vitamin D3, or any other ingredient found in rosuvastatin, placebo or study supplements.
- •History of Paget's disease, osteomalacia, steroid induced osteoporosis, or untreated parathyroid or untreated thyroid disease.
- •Subjects with history of stage 4 chronic kidney disease. (124)
- •Current Weight ≥136 kg.
- •Bilateral knee region metal implants (hardware), history of bilateral knee region contracture >30 degrees, fracture or any other bilateral knee region pathology which would preclude accurate DXA assessment of one limb.
- •Post-menopausal women (absence of menses for a minimum of 1 year).
- •Women with amenorrhea due to bilateral surgical removal of the ovaries and/or uterus (women with amenorrhea due to spinal cord injury are able to participate).
- •Pregnancy or lactation.
- •Female of child-bearing potential who is engaged in active heterosexual relations and is not using appropriate birth control methods. Appropriate methods of birth control will include: surgical sterilization at least 6 months prior to using study drug or sexual activity restricted to a vasectomized partner, barrier contraception with a condom or diaphragm in conjunction with spermicidal gel in use at least 30 days prior to using study drug OR sexual abstinence as a lifestyle.
- •History of liver disease or abnormal Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) or Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), ≥1.5 times the upper limit of the normal reference range at enrolment.
- •History of symptomatic hypocalcemia or hypophosphatemia.
- •Concurrent treatment with prednisone (>7.5mg/day for 90 days).
