Clinical Trial Summary

1. The number and function of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are inversely associated with coronary risk factors and atherosclerotic diseases such as PAOD.

2. This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the effects of cilostazol on human early EPCs and angiogenesis as well as the potential mechanisms of action in patients with mild-to-moderate PAOD.


Clinical Trial Description

1. titration of drugs

1. run-in period: eligible subjects are screened and baseline blood samples are obtained

2. study period: 12 weeks

- 24 subjects with cilostazol and 20 subjects with dummy placebo

- On the first day after the end of the study period, the follow-up data are obtained by the same procedure

3. blood sampling and measurement of serum biomarkers

- obtained from peripheral veins in all study subjects at the run-in period and the end of the treatment period of the study

- sent for isolation, cell culture, and assays of human EPCs

- also stored for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Stromal cell derived factor-alfa1, adiponectin, soluble thrombomodulin, vascular endothelial growth factor)

2. assays of human EPCs

1. colony formation by EPCs

2. quantification of EPCs and apoptotic endothelial cells

3. chemotactic motility, proliferation/viability and apoptosis assays

3. collateral vessels formation and distal run-off assessed by dual-energy multi-slice computed tomography angiography

4. echocardiographic examinations to evaluate left ventricular functions ;


Study Design

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment
