Study summary

Based upon evidence of efficacy and safety of both cilostazol and probucol administration in independent randomized controlled trials in PAD and CAD, the present trial seeks to investigate the effect of concomitant administration of cilostazol and probucol on FMD compared to each drug individually, as well as to evaluate biomarker measures and safety indices in this context.

Read the detailed description

Primary:

  1. To evaluate the effect of concomitant administration of cilostazol and probucol on the 12-week change in FMD from baseline compared, with individual drugs alone.
  2. To assess the safety of concomitant administration of cilostazol and probucol in peripheral artery disease (PAD) subjects complicated with coronary artery disease (CAD) as determined by physical examination, vital signs, adverse events (AEs), laboratory tests, ECGs.

Secondary:

  1. To evaluate the effect of cilostazol and probucol administered concomitantly and as individual drugs, compared with control, on changes in FMD from baseline to Weeks 6 and 12.
  2. To evaluate the effect of cilostazol and probucol administered concomitantly and as individual drugs, compared with control, on changes in metabolic, inflammatory, oxidative, and platelet biomarkers from baseline to Weeks 6 and 12.
  3. To evaluate the effect of cilostazol and probucol administered concomitantly and as individual drugs, compared with control, on the time course (over the 12-week treatment period) of changes in FMD and biomarkers levels.
  4. To assess the effect of drug withdrawal on these endpoints at follow-up (from Week 12 to Week 16).
  5. To explore the relationship between changes in FMD and changes in the biomarker levels at Week 12.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(10)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

TIA (transient ischaemic attack)

A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.

Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

INR, PT and aPTT (clotting tests)

Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.

Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Ran from May 2010 to primary completion in Nov 2012, 30 months.

Of 27 phase 2 interventional studies under Peripheral Arterial Disease, half reached primary completion within 48 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 22 and three quarters within 61. This study's 30 months is below that.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 18, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
