ANti-Oxidant in Variant Angina (ANOVA) Trial

Phase 4
Conditions
Variant Angina
Interventions
Drug: Vitamin C and Vitamin E
Drug: Standard medication for variant angina
Registration Number
NCT03228238
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Hospital
Brief Summary

Purpose Objectives

1. To evaluate the anti-oxidant effect of long-term Vitamin C+E therapy on coronary vasospasm improvement.

2. To evaluate the anti-oxidant effect of long-term statin therapy on coronary vasospasm improvement.

3. To evaluate the effect of long-term Vitamin C+E and statin therapy on regression of atheroma in target coronary vessels via intravascular ultrasound.

4. To find out the role of vascular endothelium in variant angina via evaluating long-term Vitamin C+E and statin therapy on improvement in vascular endothelial function by assessing brachial arterial expansion capability.

5. To find out the role of vascular endothelium in variant angina via evaluating long-term Vitamin C+E and statin therapy on improvement in arterial stiffness by assessing pulse wave velocity(PWV)

Detailed Description

Study Design: Prospective, open label, Four-arm, randomized single-center trial to test the effect long-term Vitamin C+E and Statin therapy on vasospasm improvement and regression of atheroma in patients with variant angina.

After provocation test, patients will be classified into three groups.(See below)

1. Negative group : Patients who have symptoms that are consistent with vasospastic angina but only show luminal narrowing less than 50% on coronary angiography during provocation test.

2. Mild Spastic group : Patients who have symptoms that are consistent with vasospastic angina and show luminal narrowing over 50% to less than 90% on coronary angiography during provocation test.

3. Severe Spastic group : Patients who have symptoms that are consistent with vasospastic angina and show luminal narrowing over 90% on coronary angiography during provocation test.

In each group (except for patient in Negative group), patients will be randomized in a two by two factorial manner according to the study drug therapy (Vitamin C+E vs. no Vitamin C+E) (Statin vs. no Statin) As a result, patients in each group(except for patient in Negative group) will be randomized to 4 treatment subgroups, which are

1. Control subgroup : Standard medication for Variant angina only

2. Vitamin subgroup : Standard medication + Vitamin C+E

3. Statin subgroup : Standard medication + Statin

4. Dual subgroup : Standard medication + Vitamin C+E + Statin

Patients in Negative group will be prescribed only for standard medication for variant angina.

Patient Enrollment: Recruiting 300 patients(100 patients for each group, as 25 patients for each subgroups) from September 2014 through February 2021 at single center in Korea(Seoul National University Hospital)

Patient Follow-Up: Clinical follow-up will occur at 1, and 6 months, and at 2, 4, and 6 years. Investigator or designee may conduct follow-up as telephone contacts or office visits.
