Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effects of Ranolazine and Exercise on Daily Physical Activity Trial (NCT NCT01948310)

NCT ID: NCT01948310

Last Updated: 2017-12-12

Results Overview

This test involves exercising on a treadmill or bike to maximal exertion, during which the subject's breathing and oxygen consumption are measured. Under a set study protocol, treadmill or bike workload will increase every minute until the participant either chooses to end the test or the study personnel choose to end the test for safety purposes.

Measure
Placebo Plus Exercise
Placebo pill twice per day plus aerobic exercise three times per week, 45 minutes per session at an intensity of 10-20 beats per minute below the angina threshold. Aerobic Exercise: Aerobic exercise 3 times per week, 45 minutes per session at an intensity of 10-20 beats per minute below the angina threshold (heart rate at which angina symptoms began on the stress test) Placebo: Comparison of placebo twice per day vs. Ranolazine 1000mg twice per day
Ranolazine Plus Exercise
Ranolazine 1000mg pill twice per day plus aerobic exercise three times per week, 45 minutes per session at an intensity of 10-20 beats per minute below the angina threshold. Ranolazine: Comparison of Ranolazine 1000mg twice per day versus placebo twice per day Aerobic Exercise: Aerobic exercise 3 times per week, 45 minutes per session at an intensity of 10-20 beats per minute below the angina threshold (heart rate at which angina symptoms began on the stress test)

Population: Subjects who completed the study were included in the analysis

The Treatment Satisfaction scale is one of five scales of the Seattle Angina Questionnaire. The possible range of scores is 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better quality of life.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 1, Week 4 and Week 14

Population: Subjects who completed the study were included in the analysis.

Total daily physical activity is measured via Actigraph GT3X accelerometers. Accelerometers will be worn for 7 days pre-drug, post-drug/pre-exercise (week 4) and again in the final month of the exercise intervention (week 13)
