Summary
This will be a single center, open label, randomized, cross-over study in patients with
dyslipidemia comparing the pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin and atorvastatin in patients
with greater than or equal to one variant allele in the SLCO1B1 gene (-11187 and/or c. 521)
to patients with the wild-type/wild-type genotype.
The studies goal is to establish the role of genetic variation and development in key
transporters on the dose-exposure relationship of two commonly used statin drugs in
children. This study is the first step in a series of investigations aimed to determining
the mechanisms behind variations in physiologic response, clinical efficacy and significant
adverse effect risk that surround the statin drugs in children and adolescents.

Detailed description:
Trial Design
Investigational Agents:
Rosuvastatin 10mg tablet (ages 8-21 years); oral dosing Atorvastatin 10mg tablet (ages 8-21
years); oral dosing Commercial supplies of rosuvastatin and atorvastatin that are FDA
approved for use in pediatric dyslipidemia will be used. Rosuvastatin and atorvastatin from
the same source and lot will be used for all subjects.
Dose Rationale:
The doses designated above are chosen according to previous pediatric data13,14, and are
consistent with current labeling for rosuvastatin and atorvastatin in children greater than
10 years of age. The rosuvastatin and atorvastatin doses will be off label for participants
8-10 years of age, but consistent with current practice. Data from this study are not
intended to be used to change the drug labeling, and thus a new IND is not required.
Although fixed doses within a pre-specified age range will be used, dose data will be
analyzed corrected for weight (mg/kg) based on the patient's weight at time of dosing.
Risk/Benefits:
All eligible subjects with a LDL >130mg/dl (95% percentile) meet current clinical criteria
for statin therapy. The risks associated with participation in this single-dose
pharmacokinetic study are expected to be minimal given the known adverse event profile for
the study articles and also, the limited exposure. The most common mild adverse effects of
statins are headache, myalgia, and gastrointestinal symptoms (abdominal pain, dyspepsia,
diarrhea, constipation). However, in children these adverse effects occur with the same
frequency as placebo7,10,25. Rare adverse effects include elevation of hepatic transaminases
and myopathy, but these are generally observed with chronic treatment. Furthermore, no cases
of hepatic failure with statins have been reported to date10. There is also a small risk
associated with placement of the intravenous (IV) catheter that will be used to draw serial
blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis and screening/safety labs. Finally, there is the
risk of loss of confidentiality for the participating subjects. Methods to protect PHI and
data handling are specifically outlined in the CMH CPR protocol Sections 4 & 5 (CMH IRB#
12040220). All of the above risks associated with this non-therapeutic clinical trial are
minimal.
There is no direct benefit to participating subjects, although there may be benefit for
children in the future, as it is expected that the information to be gained from the study
can be generalized to the larger population of pediatric patients who may require statin
treatment. The purpose of the study is to determine how genetic variation impacts
rosuvastatin and atorvastatin plasma concentrations following recommended doses of the drug
in a patient population that has not previously been studied. Thus, with this knowledge,
future protocols could subsequently be developed to effectively "personalize" dosing for
pediatric subjects with the aforementioned SNPs who are taking rosuvastatin and
atorvastatin, thereby improving efficacy and safety for the individual patient.
Study Design/Type:
This will be a single center, open-label, randomized, crossover pilot study in patients with
dyslipidemia comparing the pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin and atorvastatin in patients
with greater than or equal to one variant allele in the SLCO1B1 gene (-11187 and/or c. 521)
to patients with the wild-type/wild-type genotype. The results of genetic testing will not
be disclosed to the subjects.
Population Sample:
The CMH Cardiology Pharmacogenomics Repository (CPR) (CMH IRB# 12040220) database will be
accessed to determine subjects meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria. The study population
from the aforementioned IRB proposal has already agreed to be contacted for future studies.
Once the target population and an equal set of age, sex-, race- and Tanner Stage-matched
controls are identified, the patients will be invited to participate.
Subject Recruitment:
Once a target population and an equal set of age-, sex- and Tanner Stage-matched controls
are identified from the CPR, prospective participants will be informed about the study.
Initial contact will occur by way of a prepared telephone script (Appendix 2&3). Those that
agree to participate will be scheduled for a visit to the Pediatric Clinical Research Unit
(PCRU) for a screening visit. At this visit, the study will be explained to the
patient/patient's family, permission/assent/consent (Appendix 4&5) will be obtained, a
physical examination (including Tanner staging), and screening laboratory testing will be
performed. Participants for whom permission/assent/consent has been obtained and inclusion
criteria are met, will be scheduled to come back to the PCRU for the first study drug day.
If the participant is currently on a statin, they will not be scheduled to come back for at
least 6 days for Study Drug Day #1 (washout period). This visit will need to be conducted
following a minimum of 6 days and up to 14 days for these participants. If the participant
is not currently on a statin then they can be scheduled anytime after their screening visit
is complete. The visit will consist of a physical examination, lab tests, placement of an
indwelling venous cannula for serial blood draws as outlined below and administration of a
single oral dose of rosuvastatin or atorvastatin. The total amount of blood drawn (screening
labs and PK samples) for the trial will be 60. 6 ml, which is well within the guidelines
placed at CMH ORI for children > 25 kg. This study will require an overnight stay in the
PCRU in order to obtain all necessary plasma levels. Following a minimum of 6 days and up
to 14 days after the study day #1 (washout period), the participating subject will be
brought back to the PCRU for another single dose pharmacokinetic study involving the second
drug with the same procedure and sampling scheme as conducted in study day #1.
