Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

1. Conduct a large-sample, multicenter, superiority, double-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial to verify the efficacy of TJC in reducing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients with metabolic syndrome at high cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk (HCR-MS).
2. Further construct an evaluation system for the long-term cardiovascular and cerebrovascular benefits of traditional Chinese medicine in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism through the evaluative study of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular benefits of TJC.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental Group (Tongmai Jiangtang Capsule Group)

Participants in this Arm will receive Tongmai Jiangtang Capsule (TJC) in addition to standard treatment.

Dosage: Three capsules, three times daily (tid), taken orally. Duration: The intervention period is 26 weeks, followed by a 26-week follow-up. Objective: This Arm aims to evaluate the efficacy of TJC in reducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event risks in patients with metabolic syndrome at high cardiovascular risk (HCR-MS).

Participants will adhere to the study protocol, attending regular visits and examinations to assess efficacy and safety.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive Tongmai Jiangtang Capsule (TJC) in addition to standard treatment.

Intervention Type DRUG

Intervention Agent: The study employs Tongmai Jiangtang Capsule (TJC), a traditional Chinese medicine compound formulated based on TCM theory. It has the functions of Nourishing Yin, clearing heat and activating blood circulation, and can comprehensively regulate glucose and lipid metabolism as well as improve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular functions.

Intervention Population: The study focuses on patients with metabolic syndrome at high cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk (HCR-MS) who meet the TCM criteria for "Qi-deficiency and Blood Stasis syndrome," reflecting personalized and precision intervention.

Intervention Design: A long-term study design with 26 weeks of intervention followed by 26 weeks of follow-up is adopted to comprehensively assess the short-term efficacy and long-term cardiovascular benefits of TJC.

Control Design: The study employs a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled method.

Control Group (Placebo Group)

Participants in this Arm will receive a placebo capsule that is identical in appearance, size, color, formulation, weight, taste, and smell to TJC, in addition to standard treatment.

Dosage: Three placebo capsules, three times daily (tid), taken orally. Duration: The intervention period is 26 weeks, followed by a 26-week follow-up. Objective: This Arm serves as a control to compare the efficacy of TJC against a placebo.

Participants will adhere to the study protocol, attending regular visits and examinations to assess the efficacy and safety of the placebo.
