Summary
This trial is testing whether adding rosuvastatin to standard anticoagulation therapy is safe and effective in preventing PTS after DVT.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for men and women with a first episode of acute proximal leg DVT diagnosed within the last 4 weeks, without severe pulmonary embolism. Participants must be in relatively good health (ECOG ≤ 2), have a life expectancy over 2 years, and meet specific blood count criteria. Exclusions include pregnancy, breastfeeding, prisoners, those already in another trial or with established PTS, certain allergies or contraindications to MRI or anticoagulants.
What is being tested?
The study tests if rosuvastatin (20 mg daily) alongside standard anticoagulation therapy can improve safety and tolerability while preventing post thrombotic syndrome after a DVT event. The effectiveness of this combination treatment will be compared against the usual care for patients with lower extremity DVT.
What are the potential side effects?
Rosuvastatin may cause muscle pain or weakness, liver enzyme changes leading to potential liver damage, digestive issues like nausea or constipation, headache, dizziness and increased risk of diabetes. Side effects vary among individuals.
