About

The study is a single-center, interventional, pilot study to evaluate the improvement of microvascular function by positron emission tomography (PET) after twelve-week treatment of oral nicorandil in female non-obstructive CAD Participants.

Enrollment

8 patients

Ages

18 to 70 years old

Volunteers

No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

  • Female
  • Participants aged 18-70 years
  • Participants with typical stable angina but without coronary obstruction (defined as coronary occlusion less than (<) 50%) by invasive coronary angiography or coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) in recent three months
  • All other long acting cardiovascular disease medicines, including but not limited to aspirin/clopidogrel, calcium channel blockers (CCB), Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI)/Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARB), beta-blockers, statins, ivabradine, trimetazidine, et al, should be stable taken for at least two weeks before screening period
  • For participants who met these four criteria above, MFR will be tested by stress PET. Participants whose MFR <3.0 could be included in the study

Exclusion criteria

  • Severe or uncontrolled hypertension (resting Systolic blood pressure [SBP] >=160 millimeter of mercury (mmHg), or resting Diastolic blood pressure [DBP] >=100mmHg at screening period)

  • Participants with shock (including cardiogenic shock), or hypovolemia

  • Severe hypotension (resting SBP<90mmHg,or resting DBP<60mmHg)

  • Significant valvular heart disease, congenital heart disease or cardiomyopathy

  • Congestive heart failure(New York Heart Association [NYHA] III-IV), echocardiographic ejection fraction<45%

  • Acute pulmonary edema;

  • Hepatic or renal dysfunction, defined as:

    • Serum Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) > triple of the normal value upper limit;
    • Serum Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) > triple of the normal value upper limit
    • Serum creatinine > twice of the normal value upper limit
  • Glaucoma

  • Active peptic ulcer or active skin ulcer

  • Taking glyburide, phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitor, soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator(s)

  • Known to be hypersensitivity to nicorandil, nitrates, niacin, or any of the excipient

  • With contraindication to complete stress PET test

  • No legal ability and legal ability is limited

  • Participants unlikely to cooperate in the study or with inability or unwillingness to give informed consent

  • Child-bearing period women without effective contraceptive measures, pregnancy and lactation

  • Participation in another clinical trial within the past 30 days

  • Other significant disease that in the Investigator's opinion would exclude the participant from the trial
