About this study

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel group, Therapeutic exploratory Study.

The subject who has at least an episode of chest pain weekly despite Amlodipine 5mg once a day (qd) taking during 2 weeks will have treatment of Pletaal (Cilostazol) or Placebo for 4 weeks. Pletaal (Cilostazol) is taken 100mg oral tablets two times a day (bid) during 2 weeks after dosing of Pletaal (Cilostazol) 50mg oral tablets bid during 2 weeks. Placebo of Pletaal (Cilostazol) is used as the control medication.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Treatment and study plan

Placebo

Drug

2 weeks treatment of Cilostazol 100mg, or placebo oral tablets bid after 2 weeks treatment of Cilostazol 50mg, or placebo oral tablets bid (Total 4 weeks)

Other names: Amlodipine, Nitroglycerin

Primary outcomes

  1. Percent change of the chest pain frequency

    Time frame: A week before IP dosing and the final a week after IP dosing (average 6weeks)

    Collect the chest pain frequency data related with vasospastic angina episodes by subject diaries.

    Descriptive statistics (N, mean, standard deviation, minimum, median and maximum) will be presented by treatment group. ANCOVA will be performed between the treatment groups using the baseline (a week before IP dosing) as covariate.

Secondary outcomes

  1. The chest pain frequency, the pain intensity, nitroglycerin consumption of the final a week after IP dosing from a week before IP dosing

    Time frame: A week before IP dosing and the final a week after IP dosing (average 6weeks)

    Descriptive statistics (N, mean, standard deviation, minimum, median and maximum) will be presented by treatment group. ANCOVA will be performed between the treatment groups using the baseline (a week before IP dosing) as covariate. The subject who has no chest pain will be regarded as the total pain intensity and the average pain intensity are '0'. The subject who has taken no nitroglycerin will be regarded as taking '0' tablet.
