First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 3 trial is testing whether atorvastatin, a common cholesterol drug, is safe and can reduce inflammation in children with Kawasaki disease who also have coronary artery abnormalities. The study will enroll 9 children and give them different doses of atorvastatin for 6 weeks. Researchers will monitor side effects and measure changes in inflammation markers.
What this could mean

- Active substance
- atorvastatin (a statin drug, typically used to lower cholesterol)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a way to reduce heart artery damage in children with Kawasaki disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-phase trial (only 9 participants) focused on safety, so it may not prove effectiveness. Statins can cause muscle or liver side effects.
