Effect of Sarpogrelate, a Serotonin Receptor Antagonist, on Coronary Artery Disease

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02607436
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Bundang Hospital
Brief Summary

This is a prospective interventional study to assess the effect of sarpogrelate compared with aspirin in Korean type 2 diabetic patients with atherosclerosis.

Detailed Description

Type 2 diabetes has been increased exponentially, arousing serious economic, social and health repercussions. Also, macrovascular complications of diabetes such as myocardial infarct or stroke have been increased. Individuals with diabetes have a greater risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), approximately two to four times than that of those without diabetes. Currently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires demonstration that new anti-hyperglycemic agents do not increase cardiovascular risk. The comprehensive and multifactorial management in type 2 diabetes, which includes control of hypertension, dyslipidemia and obesity, is known to significantly reduce the risk of CVD as shown in Steno-2 study. However, most anti-diabetic agents currently used in clinical practice do not seem to provide enough cardiovascular protection.
