The SAVER Trial: StAtins for Venous Event Reduction in Patients with Venous Thromboembolism

Clinical Trial

The SAVER Trial is a research study (trial) being conducted to determine if a cholesterol-lowering medication (statin) can help prevent blood clots in people with deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. The purpose of this study is to examine if adding a statin (rosuvastatin) to the usual blood thinner treatment will decrease the risk of another blood clot forming. We also hope to discover if taking a statin reduces damage to your veins.

If you are eligible and consent to the trial, then you would be randomly assigned to take either a statin medication or a placebo. You will have follow-up phone calls or visits every 6 months, for a minimum of 6 months, up to a maximum of 5 years.

A member of the research team can provide more information about the trial if you are interested in hearing more.
