E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the efficacy of ranolazine compared to placebo on the average weekly angina frequency in subjects with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and coronary artery disease (CAD) and chronic stable angina who remain symptomatic despite treatment with 1 or 2 concomitant antianginal agent(s). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
a) To evaluate the efficacy of ranolazine compared to placebo on average weekly frequency of sublingual nitroglycerin (SL NTG) use
b) To evaluate the efficacy of ranolazine compared to placebo on angina-free days
c) To evaluate the efficacy of ranolazine compared to placebo on proportion of subjects achieving at least a 50% reduction in the average weekly angina frequency
d) To evaluate the efficacy of ranolazine compared to placebo on health-related QoL
e) To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ranolazine compared to placebo |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Written informed consent
2. Males and females aged at least 18 years

(i) Angiographic evidence of ≥ 50% stenosis of one or more major coronary arteries
(ii) History of myocardial infarction documented by positive CK-MB enzymes, troponins, or ECG changes
(iii) Cardiac imaging study or exercise treadmill test diagnostic for CAD
5. Treatment with up to 2 antianginal therapies at a stable dose for at least 2 weeks prior to the 4-week single-blind placebo run-in period. Allowed antianginals are the following: (i) beta-blocker (except sotalol), (ii) CCB (either dihydropyridine or non-dihydropyridine) (iv) LAN

7. Willing to maintain stable tobacco usage habits throughout the study
8. Willing to maintain stable activity levels throughout the study
9. Females of childbearing potential must agree to utilize highly effective contraception methods from Screening throughout the duration of study treatment and for 14 days following the last dose of study drug. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. NYHA Class III and IV
2. Acute coronary syndrome in the prior 2 months or planned coronary revascularization during the study period
3. Stroke or transient ischemic attack within 6 months prior to Screening

8. Prior treatment with ranolazine, or known hypersensitivity or intolerance to ranolazine
9. Females who have positive serum pregnancy test
10. Females who are breastfeeding
11. Participation in another investigational drug or device study within 1 month prior to Screening
12. Current treatment with trimetazidine, ivabradine, or nicorandil. Subjects will need to discontinue these medications 2 weeks prior to initiating the 4-week single-blind, placebo run-in period.
13. Current treatment with potent inhibitors of CYP3A (eg, ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin, nefazodone, nelfinavir, ritonavir, indinavir, and saquinavir)
14. Current treatment with CYP3A and Pgp inducers (eg, rifampicin/rifampin, carbamazepine, and St. John’s wort)
15. Current treatment with CYP3A4 substrates with a narrow therapeutic range (eg, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, and sirolimus)
16. Subjects taking simvastatin who cannot reduce the dose to 20 mg once daily or who cannot switch to another statin
17. Current treatment with Class I or III antiarrhythmic medications
18. History of illicit drug use or alcohol abuse within 1 year of Screening
19. Any other conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, are likely to prevent compliance with the study protocol or pose a safety concern if the subject participates in the study |
