JUPITER Justification for the Use of statins in Primary prevention: an Intervention Trial Evaluating Rosuvastatin Ridker P et al. N Eng J Med 2008;359: 2195-2207
JUPITER • JUPITER is the first large-scale, prospective study to examine the role of statin therapy in individuals with low to normal LDL-C levels, but with increased cardiovascular risk identified by elevated CRP • It assessed the long-term impact of rosuvastatin (CRESTOR™) in individuals potentially at increased cardiovascular (CV) risk due to elevated CRP levels who do not qualify for lipid-lowering treatment according to current guidelines Ridker P et al. N Eng J Med 2008;359: 2195-2207
JUPITER - Rationale • Nearly half of all cardiovascular events occur in patients who are apparently healthy and who have low or normal levels of LDL-C • hsCRP predicts cardiovascular disease independent of LDL-C levels • Along with improved screening there is a need to examine the use of lipid-lowering agents as a method of reducing the risk of cardiovascular events Ridker PM.

JUPITER – summary and perspectives • The JUPITER study included patients with low to normal LDL-C who were at increased CV risk as identified by elevated CRP levels and who did not require statin treatment based on current treatment guidelines • A 44% reduction in the primary endpoint of major cardiovascular events (composite of: CV death, MI, stroke, unstable angina, arterial revascularisation) was observed in patients who received rosuvastatin 20 mg compared with placebo (p< 0.00001) • A 20% reduction in total mortality was observed in patients who received rosuvastatin 20 mg compared with placebo (p=0.02), a unique finding for statins in a population without established CHD • In JUPITER, long-term treatment with rosuvastatin 20 mg was well tolerated in nearly 9000 study participants • There was no difference between treatment groups for muscle weakness, cancer, haematological disorders, gastrointestinal, hepatic or renal systems • The results from JUPITER highlight the importance of highly effective statin treatment for these patients with an increased risk of CV disease Ridker P et al.
