About this study

Official title: Post-marketing Study of Cilostazol: Study to Confirm Efficacy in Preventing Recurrent Cerebral Infarction in Comparison With Aspirin

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of cilostazol in preventing recurrence of cerebral infarction and the safety of long-term administration of the drug (100 mg, twice daily) in patients with cerebral infarction (excluding cardiogenic cerebral embolism) in a multi-center, double-blind, parallel-group comparison with aspirin (81 mg, once daily).

Being tested
Cilostazol, Aspirin

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Numbers of Patients With First Occurence of Stroke

    The endpoint in this measure is a composite endpoint of the first recurrence of cerebral infarction, or occurrence of cerebral haemorrhage or subarachnoid haemorrhage. The evaluation committee, whose members were unaware of patients' treatment assignment, adjudicated all trial endpoints.

    Measured: From start of treatment to end of follow-up period ( follow-up periods : 29 months [Standard Deviation 16, range 1-59 months])

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Patients With First Recurrence of Cerebral Infarction

    Measured: From start of treatment to end of follow-up period (mean follow-up periods : 29 months [STANDARD DEVIATION 16, range 1-59 months])

  2. Number of Patients With First Occurrence of Ischaemic Cerebrovascular Disease

    The endpoint in this measure is a composite endpoint of the first recurrence of cerebral infarction or the first occurrence of transient ischaemic attack. The evaluation committee, whose members were unaware of patients' treatment assignment, adjudicated all trial endpoints.

    Measured: From start of treatment to end of follow-up period ( follow-up periods : 29 months [STANDARD DEVIATION 16, range 1-59 months])

  3. Number of Deaths From Any Cause

    Number of deaths from any cause. The evaluation committee, whose members were unaware of patients' treatment assignment, adjudicated all trial endpoints.

    Measured: From start of treatment to end of follow-up period ( follow-up periods : 29 months [STANDARD DEVIATION 16, range 1-59 months])

  4. Number of Patients With First Occurrence of a Composite Endpoint of Stroke, Haemorrhagic Events, or Cardiovascular Events

    The endpoint in this measure is a composite endpoint of the first recurrence of cerebral infarction, or occurrence of cerebral haemorrhage, subarachnoid haemorrhage, transient ischaemic attack, angina pectris, myocardial infarction, heart failure, or haemorrhage requiring hospital admission. The evaluation committee, whose members were unaware of patients' treatment assignment, adjudicated all trial endpoints.

    Measured: From start of treatment to end of follow-up period ( follow-up periods : 29 months [STANDARD DEVIATION 16, range 1-59 months])

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Cilostazol and Aspirin in people with Cerebral Infarction, run by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 1 site in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 May 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Numbers of Patients With First Occurence of Stroke (time frame: From start of treatment to end of follow-up period ( follow-up periods : 29 months [Standard Deviation 16, range 1-59 months])). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00234065, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
