Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 70 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • 1. Signed written informed consent 2. Male and Female ages 18 to 70 years old. To be able to eliminate Type I Diabetes Mellitus among the younger subjects, we will only recruit patients who are stable on oral hypoglycemic agent. 3. Established diagnosis of diabetes mellitus type 2 (National Diabetes Data Group) who are currently on good control of the diabetic state.
  • 4. Presence of predominantly distal symmetrical sensory polyneuropathy of the lower limbs as assessed by NSS, NIS and NCS.

Who cannot join

  • Current use of potentially neuropathic agents (Isoniazid, Phenytoin, Dapsone, Metronidazole, Vinca Alkaloids, etc.) within the past 1 month;
  • Presence of severe metabolic disease (renal failure, hepatic failure, etc.), alcoholism and malignancy;
  • Presence of hemorrhagic tendencies;
  • Patients who are diagnosed to be of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus;
  • Pregnant and lactating patients, including those who plan to have pregnancy within the study period.
  • Concomitant intake of agents currently used to treat neuropathic pain like gabapentin, carbamazepine/ oxcarbazepine, anti-depressants (tricyclic anti-depressants and SSRIs) and topical capsaicin.
  • Concomitant intake of other anti-platelet agents, rheologic agents and anticoagulants.
  • Have received Cilostazol therapy within the past three (3) months

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Subjective neuropathy assessment by NSS (Neuropathy Symptom Scores)from Baseline (BS) to week 12 (W12) after Cilostazol therapy of the three (3) arms of the study.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Objective neuropathy assessment by NIS (Neuropathy Impairment Scores)from Baseline (BS) to week 12 (W12) after Cilostazol therapy of the three (3) arms of the study.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. Electrophysiologic assessment by NCS (Nerve Conduction Studies) from Baseline (BS) to week 12 (W12) after Cilostazol therapy of the three (3) arms of the study.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. To determine the relationship of peripheral neuropathy with peripheral vascular disease using the WIQ and the ABI from baseline to W12.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To determine if there is improvement in subjective parameters of neuropathy as assessed by NSS and NSC (Neuropathy Symptoms and Change Questionnaire) from baseline to week 4 (W4), week 8 (W8) and week 12 (W12) after Cilostazol therapy.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. To determine if there is improvement in objective parameters using NIS and NCS from baseline to W4, W8 and W12 after Cilostazol therapy.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. To compare the effectivity of low dose (100mg) and high dose (200mg) Cilostazol based on subjective (NSS, NSC) and objective parameters (NIS, NCS) from baseline, to W4, W8 and W12.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. To assess the safety of Cilostazol therapy.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Cilostazol in people with Polyneuropathy, run by Otsuka Pharmaceutical, Inc., Philippines at 1 site in Philippines.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Feb 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Philippines. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Subjective neuropathy assessment by NSS (Neuropathy Symptom Scores)from Baseline (BS) to week 12 (W12) after Cilostazol therapy of the three (3) arms of the study. (time frame: 12 weeks). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Feb 2010.
