Danlou Tablets to Prevent Left Ventricular Remodeling

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Danlou tablets are Chinese patent medicine which has been approved in China for the treatment of ischemic heart disease, but the evidence supporting its efficacy on cardiac remodeling remains unclear. This pilot study was designed to determine whether Danlou tablets reduced adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). Patients following acute MI were enrolled and randomly allocated to Danlou tablets (4.5 g q.d. for 90 days) or placebo, superimposed on standard medications for the treatment of MI. Major end points were changes in LV volumes and ejection fractions as evaluated by serial echocardiography in addition to clinical outcomes were also determined.

Clinical Trial Description

This randomized, prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group clinical trial was performed in two institutions (Guangdong Provincial Hospital of CM and Wuyi Hospital of CM). The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and its text revisions and all participants provided written informed consent before enrollment. The Clinical Research Ethical Committee at Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine approved the research protocol (B2011-41-01).

Once eligible candidates had undergone PCI, they were admitted to the coronary intensive care unit and received standard treatment according to the institutional protocol based on American College of Cardiology/ American Heart Association and European Society of Cardiology guidelines.20 Simultaneously, patients were randomized assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive Danlou tablets (4.5 g oral dose taken once daily) or matching placebo for 90 days according to a computer-generated site-stratified, block randomization schedule. Danlou tablets were approved by China Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of ischemic heart disease in 2005 (Z20050244). ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
