AstraZeneca today announced that it has completed its regulatory review of Crestor, a medication used to help prevent heart attacks and strokes in patients with high cholesterol. The review resulted in a decision by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) on a regulatory application for Crestor to be approved in Canada.
AstraZeneca has been granted permission to market Crestor in the U. S. by the U. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Crestor is an LDL-C-blocker used to lower LDL cholesterol levels by about 50 percent, as opposed to the 50 to 100 percent recommended for many other prescription cholesterol-lowering drugs. However, the FDA has previously rejected the FDA’s application for a similar approval in Canada. AstraZeneca plans to pursue a similar application in the U. in the future.
“Our regulatory review of Crestor is an important step forward in our efforts to bring Crestor to market,” said AstraZeneca’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman Pascal Soriot. “We will continue to work to ensure that this approval is a successful and successful outcome for AstraZeneca.”

A study on people taking Crestor for the first time found that the drug's cholesterol lowering effects were particularly beneficial for patients who had been taking the drug for many years.
The study, which was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, was funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute and the National Institutes of Health. The study, led by Dr. Peter D. Ahearn, M. D., of the University of Texas Health Science Center at Austin, and Dr. Ahearn's coauthors, were from the Veterans Affairs Health Science Center at San Diego, California, and the Veterans Affairs Health Care System at Houston, Texas.
Dr. Ahearn, the lead author of the study, and his coauthors noted that the study was designed to compare Crestor and the other drugs that are widely used for cholesterol management. They also noted that the results were based on a study of more than 1,200 people with a diagnosis of high cholesterol and who had been taking the drugs for at least six months.
"This is the first report of the use of statins in patients with cardiovascular disease in whom no alternative therapies or other treatments were available for their existing conditions," said Dr. Ahearn. "Further, this study supports the use of statins in patients with existing cardiovascular disease who are not responding to conventional therapy."
In addition to the study, Dr. Ahearn, who is treating a large number of patients with a diagnosis of high cholesterol, said the results "suggest that statins are not the only treatment option for people with cardiovascular disease who are receiving statin therapy."
The study, which was funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in March 2010.
The study's findings are published online March 5, 2011 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The study was funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute and the National Institutes of Health.
