About this study

Official title: Heart Rate Reduction by IVabradine for Improvement of ENDothELial Function in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease: the RIVENDEL Study

This study evaluates the effect of ivabradine on endothelial function in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after complete revascularization with percutaneous coronary angioplasty (PCI). At least 30 days after PCI, patients will be randomized to receive ivabradine 5 mg twice daily or to continue with standard medical therapy.

Being tested
Ivabradine, Standard medical therapy
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of patients with flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery <7%

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Endothelium-independent dilation of the brachial artery

    Dilation of the brachial artery after administration of 0.5 mg sublingual nitroglycerin

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Correlation between heart rate and flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ivabradine and Standard medical therapy in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Campus Bio-Medico University at 1 site in Italy.

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 9 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 15 Feb 2016. 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 Italy. 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?

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?

Flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 NCT02681978, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Feb 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
