Who may be able to join

  • Age 18 to 80 years
  • History of stable, exertional angina pectoris (Canadian Cardiovascular Society functional class II to III) for at least 3 months duration prior to enrolment in the study
  • Patients not currently receiving treatment with antianginal medication (other than short-acting nitrates)
  • Between visits 2 and 3 two treadmill exercise tests, demonstrating ≥ 0.1 mV of horizontal or down sloping ST-segment depression, must be carried out. The difference in symptom-limited exercise duration between these two tests must not exceed 20%
  • Total treadmill exercise duration > 3 minutes (i.e. stage 2 or above on a standard Bruce protocol)
  • Coronary artery disease, preferably (not mandatory) documented by a history of proven myocardial infarction and/or coronary angiography indicating ≥ 50% reduction in luminal diameter of one or more coronary arteries or their primary branches

Who cannot join

  • Myocardial infarction within 3 months prior to enrolment in the study
  • Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) or coronary artery bypass surgery within 6 months
  • Other types of angina (variant, unstable)
  • Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure > 180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure > 100 mmHg)
  • Resting heart rate < 50 bpm or > 100 bpm
  • Significant valvular heart disease
Show all 20Show fewer
  • Heart failure New York Heart Association Class III or IV
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and/or asthma with clinical symptoms requiring regular medication
  • Significant arrhythmia (since this may interfere with the interpretation of the electrocardiogram) including Wolff Parkinson-White syndrome, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, sick sinus syndrome, significant Atrio-Ventricular heart block, intraventricular conduction defect (QRS > 0.12 seconds) ventricular pre-excitation, bundle branch block, the presence of a pace-maker, the presence of an implanted automatic defibrillator, uncorrected hypokalaemia (potassium < 3.5 mmol/litre)
  • Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus
  • Significant liver disease (Aspartate Aminotransferase or Alanine Aminotransferase > twice the upper limit of reference range)
  • Significant renal disease (creatinine > 1.5 x upper limit of reference range)
  • Any clinical condition which in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude the safe fulfilment of the protocol and the safe administration of trial medication
  • Inability to perform repeated exercise testing due to extra-cardiac reasons
  • Concomitant treatment with any other anti-anginal medication, whether or not prescribed for this indication (e.g. calcium channel blockers, β-blockers or long-acting nitrates)
  • Concomitant treatment with anti-arrhythmic medication, digitalis or tricyclic anti-depressants or other agents known to affect ST-segment morphology
  • Known hypersensitivity to any of the components of the investigational drug
  • Pregnant or nursing women or women of child bearing potential
  • Participation in any other clinical trial within 2 months of enrolment
  • History of drug or alcohol abuse

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lacidipine, low dose, Lacidipine, medium dose and Lacidipine, high dose in people with Angina Pectoris, run by Boehringer Ingelheim.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Sep 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Change in total treadmill exercise duration (time frame: Baseline, week 6). 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 5 Sep 2014.
