About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double Blind Study to Compare the Efficacy Between Cilostazol and Aspirin on White Matter Changes by Cerebral Small Vessel Disease

There may be a difference in efficacy of cilostazol and aspirin on progression of white matter changes in cerebral small vessel disease.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of aspirin and cilostazol on volume of white matter changes in cerebral small vessel disease.

The secondary objectives are to compare the impact of aspirin and cilostazol on DTI parameters, lacune, microbleeds, brain atrophy, cognition, depression, neurologic signs, gait, urination, and activities of daily living.

We also investigate risk factors associated with progression of cerebral small vessel disease.

What is being measured

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

  1. Volume of white matter changes (WMCs)

    Measure change of WMC on brain MRI

    Measured: baseline, week 104

Secondary outcomes (15)
  1. Mean diffusivity (MD) and Fraction Anisotropy (FA) on Diffusion Tensor Imaging

    High MD and low FA means tissue damage.

    Measured: baseline and week 104

  2. Number of lacunes

    High number means tissue damage.

    Measured: baseline and week 104

  3. number of microbleeds

    High number means tissue damage.

    Measured: baseline and week 104

  4. brain volume and cortical thickness

    Low score means tissue damage.

    Measured: baseline and week 104

  5. Mini-Mental State Examination

    Measure global cognition. Score range is 0-30. Higher score means good cognition.

    Measured: baseline, week 52, and week 104

  6. Neurocognitive test

    Seoul Verbal Learning Test, Boston Naming test-short form, ROCF copy, animal fluency, phonemic fluency, Stroop test, Digit-symbol test, Trail making test

    Measured: baseline, week 52, and week 104

  7. Clinical Dementia Rating scale-sum of boxes

    Measure global cognition. Score range is 0-18. Higher score means good cognition.

    Measured: baseline, week 52, and week 104

  8. King's Health Questionnaire

    Measure voiding function. Higher score means bad function.

    Measured: baseline, week 42, and week 104

  9. Geriatric Depression Scale-Short form

    Measure depression. Score range is 0-15. Higher score means depression.

    Measured: baseline, week 52, and week 104

  10. Caregiver-Administered Neuropsychiatric Inventory (CGA-NPI)

    Measure abnormal behavior. Score range is 0-144. Higher score means severe abnormal behavior.

    Measured: baseline, week 52, and week 104

  11. Bayer Activities of Daily Living

    Measure instrumental activities of daily living (ADL). Score range is 1-10. Higher score means bad ADL.

    Measured: baseline, week 52, and week 104

  12. Barthel Index

    Measure physical ADL. Score range is 0-20. Higher score means good physical ADL.

    Measured: baseline, week 52, and week 104

  13. Pyramidal and Extrapyramidal Scale (PEPS)

    Measure neurologic signs. Score range is 0-60. Higher score means many abnormal neurologic signs.

    Measured: baseline, week 52, and week 104

  14. Timed UP and Go (TUG) test

    Measure gait. Higher score means bad gait.

    Measured: basline, week 52, and week 104

  15. Adverse event

    measure any adverse events

    Measured: baseline, week 4, 16, 28, 40, 52, 64, 76, 88, and 104

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing aspirin and cilostazol in people with Cerebral Small Vessel Disease, run by Inha University Hospital at 19 sites 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 17 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 sites 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Volume of white matter changes (WMCs) (time frame: baseline, week 104). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01932203, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 8 Aug 2019.
