Trial Outcomes & Findings for Trial of Cilostazol in Symptomatic Intracranial Arterial Stenosis II (NCT NCT00130039)

NCT ID: NCT00130039

Last Updated: 2010-01-12

Results Overview

Blind reviewers classified the presence and severity of stenosis on middle cerebral arteries and basilar artery on magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) into 5 grades; normal, mild, moderate, severe and occlusion. Progression was defined as worsening of stenosis by 1 or more grades on final MRA as compared with the baseline MRA. The progression of symptomatic stenosis is defined as 1 or more grade worsening of the stenosis on the symptomatic artery on MRA.

Participant Flow

507 patients were registered www.toss2.com from 20 centers of 4 countries (Korea, Hongkong, Thailand, Philippines). 50 patients were excluded during case verification process because they did not satisfy patient's eligibility criteria. finally 457 patients were randomized into cilostazol or clopidogrel group

The excluded patients did not satisfy the definition of the symptomatic stenosis of our study protocol.
