Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this investigation is to compare subjects at high risk for silent myocardial ischemia in the placebo group to subjects at high risk for silent myocardial ischemia in the ranolazine group to determine if ranolazine can be used as a treatment to decrease silent myocardial ischemia (SMI). Subjects at high risk for silent myocardial ischemia are defined in this protocol as diabetics with stable ischemic heart disease. This study will look at the impact ranolazine treatment has on biomarkers that have been shown to be highly associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality in relation to SMI. If the hypothesis is correct, further studies can be conducted to determine if treatment with ranolazine has impact on long-term outcomes such as hospitalizations, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure or sudden cardiac death.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Ranolazine

Subjects will take one 500mg tablet twice daily (500mg BID) for seven days and then increase to two 500mg tablets twice daily (1000mg BID) for the remainder of the study, for a total of 24 weeks. Subjects taking moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors will not participate in upward titration and will remain on 500mg tablet twice daily (500mg BID) for the duration of the trial.

Drug: Ranolazine
24 weeks of the assigned medication
Placebo Comparator: Placebo

Subjects will take one placebo tablet (identical to the 500mg Ranolazine tablet) twice daily (500mg BID) for seven days and then increase to two 500mg tablets twice daily (1000mg BID) for the remainder of the study, for a total of 24 weeks. Subjects taking moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors will not participate in upward titration and will remain on 500mg tablet twice daily (500mg BID) for the duration of the trial.

Drug: Placebo
Placebo for 24 weeks

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. hs cTnT [24 weeks]

    Does ranolazine decrease hs cTnT in subjects at high risk for silent myocardial ischemia?

  2. NT-pro-BNP [24 weeks]

    Does ranolazine decrease NT-pro-BNP in subjects at high risk for silent myocardial ischemia?

  3. hsCRP [24 weeks]

    Determine the degree of decrease of hs CRP in subjects in the ranolazine group.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. prevalence of hs cTnT > 99th percentile [24 weeks]

    Determine the prevalence of hs cTnT greater than the 99th percentile (0.014 ng/mL) in asymptomatic diabetic subjects with stable ischemic heart disease.
