The Effect of Cilostazol Compared to Aspirin on Endothelial Function in Acute Cerebral Ischemia Patients (PASS)

April 12, 2017 updated by: Ji Man Hong, Ajou University School of Medicine

The Effect of Cilostazol Compared to Aspirin on Endothelial Function Measured by Flow Mediated Dilatation in Acute Cerebral Ischemia Patients

Patients presenting with acute cerebral ischemic events are randomly assigned into aspirin (n=40) or cilostazol (n=40) group in a double-blinded manner. FMD is measured as a primary outcome at baseline (T0) and 90 days (T1). Serious and non-serious adverse events were described.

Detailed Description

This investigator-initiated, randomized, double-blind trial is prospectively conducted with two-arm parallel treatment groups and a single dose scheme: 100 mg aspirin daily and cilostazol placebo twice daily versus aspirin placebo daily and 100 mg cilostazol twice daily.

A total of 80 eligible patients is planned to be recruited.

All included patients undergo diagnostic studies including routine blood tests and cardiologic work-ups. The primary outcome is differences in endothelial function in the two groups measured by means of FMD on admission and at 3 months. According to previous studies, the adverse effects in two groups are investigated.
