About this study

Official title: Effects of Triple Versus Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome Undergoing Coronary Stent Implantation

Cilostazol is an kind of oral antiplatelet agent with a rapid onset of action that selectively inhibits phosphodiesterase III, a mechanism different from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor antagonists. Previous studies had suggested that cilostazol has lipid-modifying and vasodilating effects in addition to antiplatelet effects. From those experimental and clinical backgrounds, we assumed that triple antiplatelet therapy with aspirin, clopidogrel, and cilostazol might have a beneficial effect on the prevention of atherothrombosis complications following coronary stenting. Therefore, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of triple antiplatelet regimen of aspirin, clopidogrel and cilostazol compared with dual antiplatelet regimen of aspirin and clopidogrel in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing successful coronary artery stenting.

Patients undergoing successful coronary stenting were divided into dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin plus clopidogrel) and triple antiplatelet therapy (aspirin and clopidogrel plus cilostazol) groups. All enrolled patients in triple regimen group will receive cilostazol 100mg, b.i.d., for 6 months in addition to standard dose and duration of aspirin and clopidogrel for post-PCI. The primary endpoints included death, myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization, stent thrombosis within 30 days, binary restenosis at six month and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at one year. The secondary endpoints were side effects of study drugs, including major bleeding, vascular complication, hypersensitivebility, and bleeding complications. The study will be powered to test the hypothesis that triple antiplatelet therapy is better than dual antiplatelet therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Cilostazol in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Shenyang Northern Hospital.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 29 Nov 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 29 Nov 2006.
