Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
Observation Period :Prior to study-related activities, all subjects will sign an informed consent form. IVUS and CAG is performed prior Treatment Treatment Period: Eligible patients started treatment; rosuvastatin 2.5 mg once daily; those whose LDL-C remained >80 mg/dl after 4 wks of treatment, the dose can be titrated to a maximum of 20 mg/day

Reporting Groups
  Description
Rosuvastatin rosuvastatin 2.5 mg once daily; in those whose LDL-C remained >80 mg/dl after 4 weeks of treatment, the dosage could be titrated up to a maximum of 20 mg/day, which is the highest approved regimen by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan. Subjects attended follow-up visits every 4 weeks over 76 weeks after starting treatment with rosuvastatin.

Limitations and Caveats
Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
Because there was no placebo arm the net effect of rosuvastatin was not clarified. This study examined only single measurable plaques, which might not represent pan-coronary nature of plaque.
