ACCORD trial: Glycemia Hypothesis In middle-aged or older people with type 2 diabetes at high risk for a CVD event: Does a therapeutic strategy that targets HbA1c < 6.0% reduce the rate of CV events more than a strategy that targets HbA1c 7.0% to 7.9% (with expectation of a median of 7.5%)?
ACCORD: Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Type 2 Diabetes • ACCORD: HbA1c < 6% vs. 7.0 to 7.9% • Systolic blood pressure of < 140 vs <120 • Simvastatin with or without fenofibrate • Patients age 40 or older if have event; others 55 or older • Study Medications provided free • Planned minimum 5 years • Multicenter (US and Canada) with multiple sites in the greater Cleveland area

Pharmacokinetics of Rosuvastatin • Absorption/Distribution • Hepatoselective and relatively hydrophilic • The absolute bioavailability of rosuvastatin is approximately 20% • Rapidly absorbed (peak plasma concentration reached in 3-5 hours) • Cmax and AUC increase in proportion to dose • Significant LDL-C reduction is seen with or without food, regardless of the time of day • Highly protein bound (88% - mostly albumin; reversible, independent of plasma levels) CRESTOR® (rosuvastatin calcium) Prescribing Information. Wilmington, DE: AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP; 2003.
Pharmacokinetics of Rosuvastatin • Metabolism • >90% of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory activity occurs via the parent compound, rosuvastatin1 • The major metabolite, N-desmethyl rosuvastatin is formed primarily by cytochrome P450 (CYP450) isoenzyme 2C92 • N-desmethyl rosuvastatin has ~1/6 to ½ the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory activity of rosuvastatin1 • Rosuvastatin is not extensively metabolized1 • Rosuvastatin had no significant inhibitory effect on CYP450 isoenzymes 1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, or 3A4 in human hepatic tissue in vitro studies2 1.

Pharmacokinetics of Rosuvastatin • Excretion • Following oral administration, rosuvastatin and its metabolites are primarily excreted in the feces (90%) • Elimination half-life is approximately 19 hours • After IV dose, total body clearance 28% via renal and 72% via hepatic routes CRESTOR® (rosuvastatin calcium) Prescribing Information.

Clinical Pharmacology of RosuvastatinSpecial Populations • Race • A population pharmacokinetic analysis revealed no clinically relevant differences in pharmacokinetics among Caucasian, Hispanic, and Black or Afro-Caribbean groups • Pharmacokinetic studies show an approximate 2-fold elevation in median exposure (AUC) in Japanese subjects residing in Japan and in Chinese subjects residing in Singapore when compared with Caucasians residing in North America and Europe • No studies directly examining Asian ethnic populations residing in the U.S. are available, so the contribution of environmental and genetic factors to the observed increases in rosuvastatin drug levels have not been determined CRESTOR® (rosuvastatin calcium) Prescribing Information. Wilmington, DE: AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP; 2003.
Clinical Pharmacology of RosuvastatinSpecial Populations • Gender • There were no differences in plasma concentrations of rosuvastatin between men and women • Geriatric • There were no differences in plasma concentrations of rosuvastatin between the nonelderly and elderly populations (age 65 years) • Pediatric • In a pharmacokinetic study, 18 patients (9 boys and 9 girls) 10 to 17 years of age with homozygous FH received single and multiple oral doses of rosuvastatin. Both Cmax and AUC of rosuvastatin were similar to values observed in adult subjects administered the same doses CRESTOR® (rosuvastatin calcium) Prescribing Information. Wilmington, DE: AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP; 2003.
Clinical Pharmacology of RosuvastatinSpecial Populations • Renal Insufficiency • Mild to moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min/1.73m2) had no influence on plasma concentrations of rosuvastatin when oral doses of 20 mg rosuvastatin were administered for 14 days. However, plasma concentrations of rosuvastatin increased to a clinically significant extent (about 3-fold) in patients with severe renal impairment (CLcr <30 mL/min/1.73m2) compared with healthy subjects (CLcr >80 mL/min/1.73m2) • Hemodialysis • Steady-state plasma concentrations of rosuvastatin in patients on chronic hemodialysis were approximately 50% greater compared with healthy volunteer subjects with normal renal function CRESTOR® (rosuvastatin calcium) Prescribing Information. Wilmington, DE: AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP; 2003.
Clinical Pharmacology of RosuvastatinSpecial Populations • Hepatic Insufficiency • In patients with chronic alcohol liver disease, plasma concentrations of rosuvastatin were modestly increased. In patients with Child-Pugh A disease, Cmax and AUC were increased by 60% and 5%, respectively, as compared with patients with normal liver function. In patients with Child Pugh B disease, Cmax and AUC were increased 100% and 21%, respectively, compared with patients with normal liver function CRESTOR® (rosuvastatin calcium) Prescribing Information. Wilmington, DE: AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP; 2003.
