About this study
METHOD is a prospective observational program that will be conducted in 1centre of the Russian Federation. Prospective follow-up will be for about 6 months. The METHOD study is a 2 visit study with first visit of inclusion and second visit of completion of the study. Patients with stable angina pectoris eligible to the study inclusion criteria will be invited to participate in this observational program. The parameters for analysis will be collected by doctors and entered into CRF. The final analysis will include data from patients who were taking TMZ 80 mg OD during the observational period. The decision to stop the study will be made once 36 patients receiving treatment with trimetazidine 80 mg OD will have been evaluated at V1.
It is expected that 5 cardiologists will participate in the program. The planned number of patients is 36.

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?
To describe antiischemic effectiveness of TMZ 80 mg OD assessed by the speckle tracking mode of the stress ECHO test with dobutamine in patients included in the study. (time frame: 6 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 NCT05210465, 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?
