About this study

Official title: The Double-Blind, Randomized, Multi-Center, and Active Controlled Trial for Efficacy and Safety of Cilostazol in Acute Ischemic Stroke

The purpose of this study is to study efficacy and safety of cilostazol use in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Read the detailed description

Stroke is a leading cause of death and elderly disability in developed countries. However, treatment of acute stroke is limited except thrombolytic therapy in hyperacute stroke within several hours. Currently, aspirin is widely used in spite of its small benefit compared to bleeding complications.

Cilostazol will be compared to aspirin in acute stroke patients in terms of functional outcome at 3 months, efficacy to prevent stroke recurrence, and safety for bleeding complications.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of the frequency of mRS 0, 1, 2 at 90 days

    Measured: at 90 days

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Frequency of mRS 0,1 at 90 days

    Measured: at 90 days

  2. Frequency of Barthel index 95-100 at 90 days

  3. Frequency of mRS 0,1 & Barthel index 95-100 at 90 days

  4. Frequency of NIHSS 0-1 at 90 days

  5. Frequency of progression of neurological deficit at 7 days (increment of NIHSS 2 points or a point on the item of upper or lower extremity weakness)

  6. Bleeding disorders (life-threatening bleeding; major bleeding; minor Bleeding)

  7. Overall cardiovascular events (Ischemic heart disease requiring rehospitalization)

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 Korea Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 12 sites in South Korea.

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 5 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Dec 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in South Korea. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Comparison of the frequency of mRS 0, 1, 2 at 90 days (time frame: at 90 days). 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 NCT00272454, 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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Dec 2009.
