About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the Safety and Efficacy of Cilostazol in slowing down the progression of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in ischemic stroke patients with PAD in Taiwan.

Read the detailed description

One thousand patients will be randomized to take cilostazol (500 patients) or placebo (500 patients) in parallel groups. Patients will be screened and evaluated on Visits 1 to assess their eligibility prior to randomization. The treatment period (Visit 1-6) will last 12 months and the patient will receive initial and follow-up evaluation (section 4.5) including history and physical examinations, and baseline and end of treatment ABI and carotid IMT assessments. Vascular events and death as well as adverse events including bleeding complications will also be recorded at intervals as detailed in section 4.5.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Cilostazol in people with Ischemic Stroke, run by China Medical University 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 15 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 7 Oct 2013. 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. 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.

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?

The primary endpoint for this study is slowdown of PAD progression based on ABI. (time frame: 2 years). 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 7 Oct 2013.
