Trial or other data
01. Nov 11: NCT01442038 The PIII RIVER-PCI study (Ranolazine for Incomplete VEssel Revascularization post-PCI), will assess ranolazine in preventing major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at 1 year in 2600 patients with a history of chronic angina who have incomplete revascularization following PCI. Subjects will receive ranolazine 500mg twice daily for 7 days, followed by 1g twice daily for the duration of the study. The study started Oct 11 and is due to complete Mar 14 [1,2].
02. Mar 14: PIII NCT01442038 study is active but no longer recruiting pts. Collection of primary outcome data should be complete Dec 14 [4].
03. Mar 15: RIVER-PCI study completed Feb 15 [5]
04. Oct 15: Results of RIVER-PCI study published in The Lancet Online. The RCT (n=2651) found that after median follow-up of 643 days, ranolazine did not reduce composite rate of ischaemia-driven revascularisation (RV) or hospitalisation without RV in patients with a history of chronic angina who had incomplete RV, compared to placebo [6].
05. Nov 15: Results of RIVER-PCI study published in Circulation journal[7].
