Trial summary

Trimetazidine is a metabolic agent without any negative inotropic or vasodilatory properties. In addition, previous reports showed that trimetazidine was effective in reducing intracoronary platelet aggregation and preventing platelet thrombogenesis. Read more about this study

About this study

Trimetazidine is a metabolic agent without any negative inotropic or vasodilatory properties. In addition, previous reports showed that trimetazidine was effective in reducing intracoronary platelet aggregation and preventing platelet thrombogenesis. Therefore, for the evaluation of these combination effects of statin and trimetazidine on patients with aspirin monotherapy who had previously received CABG and were free of the major adverse cardiac events such as death, MI, TLR, or TVR for 12 months, the investigators hypothesize that atorvastatin 40mg/day would be more effective in the prevention of the further late adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events than other statin. To test this hypothesis, the investigators will perform a multi-center, randomized, prospective trial aimed at demonstrating the superiority of combination of high dose atorvastatin therapy and trimetazidine to pravastatin in patients with aspirin monotherapy 12 months after CABG surgery in real world practice.

What participants receive

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

  • Pravastatin 20mg/day for 12 months after randomizationDrug

    Patients with mono antiplatelet therapy with aspirin who had had received CABG previously fulfilling all enrollment criteria will be randomly assigned to the type of two groups. Randomization of statin therapy will be done 1:1 to one of two different groups on the web-based program:

    1. Test group:
    • Atorvastatin 40 mg and trimetazidine MR 70 mg daily for 12 months after randomization
    1. Control group:
    • Pravastatin 20mg daily for 12 months after randomization
  • Atorvastatin 40 mg and trimetazidine MR 70 mg/day for 12 months after randomizationDrug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pravastatin 20mg/day for 12 months after randomization and Atorvastatin 40 mg and trimetazidine MR 70 mg/day for 12 months after randomization in people with Coronary Artery, run by Yonsei University at 1 site 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 5 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 Mar 2019. 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 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.

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?

Occurrence of the composite of death from any cause (time frame: 12 months). 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 29 Mar 2019.
