Phase 4
Conditions
Stable Angina
Coronary Heart Disease
Interventions
Drug: Yangxin Shengmai placebo
Drug: Yangxin Shengmai
Registration Number
NCT04270071
Lead Sponsor
Guang'anmen Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences
Brief Summary

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel clinical trial in Chinese population with stable angina pectoris. The purpose is to determine the efficacy and safety of Yangxin Shengmai Granules in the treatment of stable angina pectoris.

Detailed Description

Yangxin Shengmai granules is a Chinese patent medicine composed of ginseng, Ophiopogon japonicus, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Schisandra chinensis, etc. It is used for the treatment of chest pain caused by Qi-yin deficiency and blood stasis in traditional Chinese medicine. The symptoms include chest tightness, chest pain, palpitation, shortness of breath, fatigue, dry mouth and dry throat. Clinical applications suggested that Yangxin Shengmai granules were safe and effective in the treatment of coronary heart disease. However, high-quality clinical trials are still needed to further confirm, so as to provide theoretical basis for the treatment of stable angina pectoris with traditional Chinese medicine.

The study is designed to determine the efficacy and safety of Yangxin Shengmai Granules in the treatment of stable angina pectoris.

And nitroglycerin tablets are used when angina attack. For patients who have used drugs such as aspirin, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, lipid-lowering drugs to treat coronary heart disease before inclusion, they can continue to use the original varieties and doses, without dose adjustment.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Stopping or reducing rate of the nitroglycerin tabletsFour weeks after treatment

Number of nitroglycerin tablets used before medication - number of nitroglycerin tablets used after medication) / number of nitroglycerin tablets used before medication × 100%

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient-reported outcomes in coronary heart diseaseTwo and four weeks after treatment

Through clinical outcome evaluation scale for patients with coronary heart disease with angina pectoris

Changes of angina symptom scoreTwo and four weeks after treatment

The angina symptom score regroups three items: degree of the frequency, duration and severity of angina attacks. The score of each item is 0,2,4,6. And higher scores mean a worse outcome.
