Scientific title
Study objectivesInvestigating if allopurinol (a Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitor [XOI]) has anti-ischaemic effects in the treatment of chronic stable angina patients.
Ethics approval(s)Approved by Tayside Committee on Medical Ethics in November 2006 (ref: 06/S1401/133).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCoronary Artery Disease - patients with chronic stable angina
InterventionDrug: allopurinol 300 mg - 600 mg given for six weeks.

Allopurinol (the intervention drug) is given orally (p.o.). Starting dose is 100 mg once daily (od). This is escalated over two weeks to a maximum dose of 300 mg twice daily (bd), which is given for a further period of four weeks (total six weeks). With regards to the control group, this trial is of a crossover design so each patient will be his/her own control. The placebo will be given in exactly the same fashion as the allopurinol for a total period of six weeks.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Allopurinol (a Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitor [XOI])
Primary outcome measureTime to ST depression on ETT.

Outcomes will be assessed at the start and every six weeks (at the end of each treatment period - allopurinol or placebo).
Secondary outcome measures1. Total exercise time
2. Time to symptom on ETT
3. Assessment of angina
4. Measurement of C-Reactive Protein (CRP), B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) and Procollagen III N-terminal Peptide (PIIINP)

Outcomes will be assessed at the start and every six weeks (at the end of each treatment period - allopurinol or placebo).
