Trial Outcomes & Findings for Ranolazine in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy (NCT NCT01345188)

NCT ID: NCT01345188

Last Updated: 2024-12-09

Results Overview

Anginal frequency as assessed by Seattle Angina Questionnaire. Scoring is done by assessing responses on an ordinal value. Anginal score is scored by the patient by selecting a number from 0 to 100 with low score indicates more anginal frequency. The mean of the the scores of all patients analyzed were compared between placebo and Ranolazine.

Participant Flow

Participants recruited from a cardiovascular clinic in Davenport, Iowa between 5/21/2012 and 11/22/2013

A total of 36 patients assessed for eligibility. Excluded were 8 patients (did not meet inclusion criteria=4; declined to participate=3;other=1). 28 patients were included in this randomized cross-over study.

Ranolazine, Then Placebo
Patient received Ranolazine to 1,000 mg ranolazine orally twice a day, as tolerated for 6 weeks. After a washout period of 2 weeks, they then received Placebo tablet (matching Ranolazine 1000 mg tablet twice a week) for 6 weeks.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

Population: Patients receiving ranolazine for 6 weeks and crossed over to placebo or vice versa. Higher number on the angina scale indicates less angina

Anginal frequency as assessed by Seattle Angina Questionnaire. Scoring is done by assessing responses on an ordinal value. Anginal score is scored by the patient by selecting a number from 0 to 100 with low score indicates more anginal frequency. The mean of the the scores of all patients analyzed were compared between placebo and Ranolazine.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

Quality of life as measured by the Seattle Angina Questionnaire as a score ranging from 0 to 100. Higher score indicates better quality of life. The Qaulity of life is scored by the patient. It assesses the perceived satisfaction or dissatisfaction in the major domains of life. These include mobility, self-care, Usual activities (leisure, work, family), Pain/Discomfort, and Anxiety.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

Population: Patients with dsypnea. The score reflects difference between baseline and following treatment with ranolazine or placebo

RDQ is a four item questionnaire that evaluates a patient's dyspnea with regular activity. Each question answered postiviely is given a score of 1. Total score possible is 4. A higher score indicates worse dyspnea. A difference between the score at end of treatment minus baseline is performed. A negative score indicates improvement. Comparing the difference between the 2 arms (placebo and ranolazine) is performed.
