The purpose of this study is to investigate the Safety and Efficacy of Cilostazol in slowing down the progression of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in ischemic stroke patients with PAD in Taiwan.
One thousand patients will be randomized to take cilostazol (500 patients) or placebo (500 patients) in parallel groups. Patients will be screened and evaluated on Visits 1 to assess their eligibility prior to randomization. The treatment period (Visit 1-6) will last 12 months and the patient will receive initial and follow-up evaluation (section 4.5) including history and physical examinations, and baseline and end of treatment ABI and carotid IMT assessments. Vascular events and death as well as adverse events including bleeding complications will also be recorded at intervals as detailed in section 4.5.
