About this study

Background Nicorandil is recommended as a second-line treatment for stable angina, but randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the benefit of nicorandil for patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO) are still lack.

Objective To determine whether nicorandil can improve left ventricular myocardial strain in patients with CTO.

Methods Patients with CTO were included and were randomized to the nicorandil group and the control group. Nicorandil was given orally 15 mg/day for 3 months in the nicorandil group. 3-dimentional-speckle tracking echocardiography (3D-STE) and the Seattle angina questionnaire (SAQ) survey were performed at baseline and at 3 months. Participants were randomized according to an IBM SPSS23.0-generated randomization schedule, with a 1:1 allocation to the nicorandil group or the control group.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing nicorandil in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Peking University Third Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 21 Oct 2021. 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 China. 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?

total area strain (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT05087797, 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 21 Oct 2021.
