Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of safflower yellow pigment lyophilized power amp; dripping solution in the treatment of patients with angina, by using parenteral solution of Dan-shen root extraction as control, we designed the nonferiority clinical trial phase Ⅲ.
Method 784 patients with stable angina pectoris Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ degree and occurred more than twice per week were selected. They were randomly, stratified and blindly assigned into 5 parallel groups including one control. They were treated by using safflower yellow pigment lyophilized power (SYPLP) 80 mg + 0.9% NS 250ml, intravenously guttae, daily (trial group 1); SYPLP 160 mg + 0.9% NS 250 ml, intravenously guttae, daily (trial group 2); safflower yellow pigment lyophilized dripping solution (SYPLDS) 200 ml (160 mg), intravenously guttae, daily (trial group 3); SYPLDS 100 ml (80 mg), intravenously guttae, daily (trial group 4) and parenteral solution of Dan-shen root extraction 20 ml + 0.9% NS 250 ml, intravenously guttae, daily (control group) respectively. Efficacy and safety were evaluated after 14 days of continuous treatment.
Results The angina efficacy (per-protocol population, PP): The notable effective rates of trial groups 1 to 4 and control group were 53.27%，69.44%，70.09%，55.09% and 26.00% respectively, and the effective rates were 88.79%，92.59%，93.46%，89.81% and 73.00% respectively。There was significant differences between trial group 1 and 2, trial group 3 and 4. All trial groups showed significant different effect when compared with control (P＜0.05). The effect of trial group 2 was better than those of trial group 1, and trial group 3 better than trial group 4, the four trial groups better than control group. The intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis result was almost the same to PP analysis, but trial group 3 showed no significant difference to trial group 4. In trial group 2, 3 and 4, each occurred one adverse effect, while the number was 10 in control group.
Conclusion SYPLP amp; SYPLDS have certain effect on angina. They are more effective than parenteral solution of Dan-shen root extraction. No toxic side effect has been found in clinic tests.
