Effect of Probucol and/or Cilostazol on Mean IMT in Patients With Coronary Heart dIsease (IMPACTonIMT)

September 18, 2019 updated by: Byung-Hee Oh, Seoul National University Hospital

Investigate Effect on Mean IMT of Probucol And/or CilosTazol in Patients With Coronary Heart dIsease Taking HMGCoA Reductase Inhibitor Therapy: A Randomized, Multicenter, Multinational Study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the additional effect of probucol or concomitant administration of cilostazol and probucol on mean carotid artery intima-media thickness (mean IMT) at year 1, 2, and 3.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Hyperlipidemic patients who are currently receiving HMGCoA reductase inhibitors(Statins) will be randomized Group A(Control), Group B(Probucol only added group) or Group C(Probucol and cilostazol added group) . Randomization will be done by the minimization method, controlling for the following factors: Country(Korea vs China) and max IMT (≥2.0mm vs.<2.0mm).

Group A : HMGCoA reductase inhibitor continued

Group B : HMGCoA reductase inhibitor continued + Probucol 250 mg PO, BID

Group C : HMGCoA reductase inhibitor continued + Probucol 250 mg PO, BID +Cilostazol 100 mg PO, BID

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Difference of Carotid artery IMT (mean IMT) between screening and treatment completion(3 years after) or discontinuation
Time Frame: Baseline(screening), 3years
For primary endpoint of Carotid artery IMT, t-test will be conducted for the mean IMT and variation by treatment arm(Group A vs B, Group A vs C). The 2-sided significance level is 5%. Morever, Mantel - Haenszel method can be accepted considering stratification factor or Sub-analysis can be done by each stratum in case of categorical variables.
Baseline(screening), 3years

  5. Coronary revascularization, required hospitalization
  6. PCI and coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG]

Kaplan-Meier method will be conducted for the time from enrollment date to the onset of composite cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events by treatment arm(Group A vs B, Group A vs C). Overall survival curves and progression-free survival curves are estimated per treatment arm.
