About this study

Official title: A Clinical Trial to Assess the Efficacy of Sigmart in Patients With Recurrent Angina After Coronary Revascularization

The multi-centric, open label, single arm and self controlled study is planned to assess the efficacy of orally administered Sigmart in subjects with recurrent angina after coronary revascularization. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that orally administered Sigmart can improve the major Exercise Tolerance Test (ETT) result in recurrent angina subjects.

Conditions
Angina Pectoris
Being tested
Sigmart (nicorandil)

What participants receive

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

  • Sigmart (nicorandil)Drug

    Also called Sigmart®

    Sigmart will be administered for 2 weeks when the subject enters the secondary treatment period (Day 15 to approximately Day 28), at the dosage of 5 mg per oral tid in addition to the previous anti-anginal regimen.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to 1 mm ST-depression

    It is defined as the exercise time to develop 1 mm ST-segment depression in the same identified leads

    Measured: until day 28

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Exercise tolerance test parameters

    Exercise Tolerance Test (ETT) parameters include:

    • Total exercise time
    • Time to onset of chest pain using ETT
    • Maximum ST-depression
    • SBP × HR (Pressure Rate Product)
    • Metabolic Equivalents (METs)
    • ETT grade and Score

    Measured: until day 28

  2. Consumption of nitroglycerine (NTG).

    Weekly assessment of NTG consumption until visit 4 (day 28)

    Measured: until day 28

  3. Adverse events

    The incidence of adverse events (especially the incidence of headache)

    Measured: until day 28

  4. Compliance

    Compliance % ([total number of tablets taken divided by the total number of tablets to be taken] multiplied by 100)

    Measured: until day 28

  5. Number of angina attacks per week

    Weekly assessment of angina attacks until day 28

    Measured: until day 28

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sigmart (nicorandil) in people with Angina Pectoris, run by Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany.

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 6 inclusion and 22 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jul 2014. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Time to 1 mm ST-depression (time frame: until day 28). 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 2 Jul 2014.
