About this study

Official title: Supervised Treadmill Exercise and Ranolazine for Intermittent Claudication of Lower Extremities. THE STERILE TRIAL.

The goal of this study is to evaluate whether supervised treadmill exercise combined with ranolazine 1000 mg twice daily provides an incremental benefit in absolute walking distance over supervised exercise alone in patients with stable claudication. Investigators also seek to determine if the administration of ranolazine provides a sustained benefit after the completion of a supervised exercise regimen. Lastly, investigators wish to determine whether both exercise and ranolazine improves peak oxygen consumption and anaerobic threshold in patients with stable claudication.

Read the detailed description

The treatment groups are:

  1. Group A will be randomized to a 12 week supervised exercise program and ranolazine, (Ranexa) 1000 mg orally, twice daily, by mouth.
  2. Group B will be randomized to a 12 week supervised exercise program and placebo.

After the 12 week supervised exercise program, all participants will undergo a second randomization to ranolazine or placebo for an additional 12 weeks, during which independent walking will be encouraged.

Both groups will participate in a two week lead-in period after each randomization of the trial, allowing for the stabilization of their medications and dosing of ranolazine. Medications such as cilostazol, calcium channel blockers and nitrates will be discontinued during the lead-in period, unless their use is for management for high blood pressure. Anti-platelet (blood thinner) medications will be continued throughout the trial.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage Increase in Absolute Walking Distance Following Phase 1

    Change in absolute walking distance in meters from baseline to 12 week follow-up treadmill test, as a percentage from baseline treadmill test

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage Increase in Absolute Walking Distance Following Phase 2

    Change in absolute walking distance in meters from baseline to 24 week follow-up treadmill test, as a percentage from baseline treadmill test

    Measured: 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ranolazine in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease, run by Corewell Health East at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 20 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2017. 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Aug 2017). 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?

Percentage Increase in Absolute Walking Distance Following Phase 1 (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 9 Aug 2017.
