About

The objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Pletaal (Cilostazol) in comparison with placebo for 4 weeks in vasospastic angina patients who have an insufficient response to Amlodipine (Calcium channel blocker).

Full description

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel group, Therapeutic exploratory Study.

The subject who has at least an episode of chest pain weekly despite Amlodipine 5mg once a day (qd) taking during 2 weeks will have treatment of Pletaal (Cilostazol) or Placebo for 4 weeks. Pletaal (Cilostazol) is taken 100mg oral tablets two times a day (bid) during 2 weeks after dosing of Pletaal (Cilostazol) 50mg oral tablets bid during 2 weeks. Placebo of Pletaal (Cilostazol) is used as the control medication.

Enrollment: 50 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 20 to 80 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

25. Platelet < 100,000 mm3 at screening

26. QT prolongation defined as baseline QTc > 450 msec for males or > 470 msec for females at Screening.

27. Women who have the possible of pregnancy, or positive urine or blood pregnancy test at screening

28. Women who are not using a reliable method of birth control, who are pregnant, or who are breast-feeding
