Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Change in Total Exercise Time [ Time Frame: baseline (visit 2) and week 6 (visit 5) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Total exercise time was defined as the maximal duration of exercise which was performed by the patient in the setting of exercise tolerance tests (ETT). A 12-lead electrocardiogram (EKG) was used to continuously monitor vital signs. Patients were asked to complete 9-12 minutes of exercise or to exercise until 85% of the maximum predicted heart rate was reached. All exercise tolerance tests used a standard Bruce multistage exercise test protocol.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Changes in Time to 1mm ST-segment Depression During Exercise Tolerance Testing (ETT). [ Time Frame: baseline (visit 2) through week 6 (visit 5) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Time to 1 millimeter (mm) ST-segment depression was recorded from Electrocardiogram (EKG) during exercise tolerance testing (ETT). The 1mm ST-segment depression may be seen in typical angina patient. It means the ST segment of EKG wave drops at least 1 mm compared to the beginning of EKG measurement.

  • Change in Consumption of Short-acting Nitrates [ Time Frame: from baseline (visit 2) through week 6 (visit 5) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The consumption of short-acting nitrates from baseline (V2, Day 0) to all visits [V3 (Day 14±2), V4 (Day 28±2), V5 (Day 42±2)]according to patient's diary.

  • Change in Rate-pressure Product [ Time Frame: baseline (visit 2) to week 6 (visit 5) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Rate-pressure product was defined as the product of heart rate and systolic blood pressure, which was measured both at rest and at peak of exercise.

  • Change in Pharmacological Parameters [ Time Frame: baseline (visit 2) to week 6 (visit 5) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The level of oxidative stress parameters (isoprostane, homocysteine), homeostasis parameters (PAI-I activity), inflammatory markers (fibrinogen, hsCRP, soluble CD40 ligand) and cardiac enzymes (CPK-MB and LDH), were measured to assess the pharmacological activity of STA-2.

  • Consumption of Short-acting Nitrates [ Time Frame: The consumption of short-acting nitrates from baseline (V2, Day 0) to all visits [V3 (Day 14±2), V4 (Day 28±2), V5 (Day 42±2)]according to patient's diary. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: STA-2

STA-2 250 mg capsule, each containing 100 mg green tea polyphenols.

Two capsules t.i.d. (three times daily) for 6 weeks, to be administered in a non-fasting state.

 Drug: STA-2

After 1 week of screening and washout, patients who met the entry criteria were randomly assigned either to the treatment or control group. The regimen of STA-2 was:

STA-2 250 mg capsule, each containing 100 mg green tea polyphenols, 2 capsules t.i.d. (three times a day) for 6 weeks, to be administered in a non-fasting state.
Placebo Comparator: Placebo

Placebo capsule, containing non-active ingredients.

Two capsules t.i.d. (three times daily) for 6 weeks, to be administered in a non-fasting state.

 Drug: Placebo

After 1 week of screening and washout, patients who met the entry criteria were randomly assigned either to the treatment or control group. The regimen of Placebo was:

Placebo 250 mg capsule, 2 capsules t.i.d. (three times a day) for 6 weeks, to be administered in a non-fasting state.

Detailed Description:

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of STA-2 in the management of chronic stable angina. The secondary objectives of this study were to evaluate the safety and pharmacological activities of STA-2 in the management of chronic stable angina. This was a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study of STA-2 in the management of chronic stable angina. The study period for each patient was approximately 7 weeks, during which the patient undergone one-week screening and washout period, followed by 6 weeks of treatment. Each patient was required to make a total of 5 visits. Primary Efficacy Endpoint: Change in total exercise time.

After washout, patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly assigned either to the treatment or control group. The respective regimens were:

Treatment group:

STA-2 250 mg capsule, each containing 100 mg green tea polyphenols, 2 capsules ter in die (t.i.d.=three times daily) for 6 weeks, to be administered in a non-fasting state.

Control group:

Placebo 250 mg capsule, 2 capsules t.i.d. (three times daily) for 6 weeks, to be administered in a non-fasting state.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   20 Years and older

Criteria

Inclusion criteria:

  2. Patients who had effort-induced angina which was relieved by rest or nitroglycerin, or who had catheterization-documented coronary artery disease or previous myocardial infarction ≥ 3 months before screening;
  3. Patients who manifested positive ETT (exercise tolerance testing) (defined as ST-segment depression ≥ 1 mm compared with at rest, with or without limiting angina) at screening (Day -7);
  4. Patients who manifested positive ETT (exercise tolerance testing) (defined as ST-segment depression ≥ 1 mm compared with at rest, with or without limiting angina) on the day of enrollment (Day 0). ETT performance between Day -7 and Day 0 were required not differ by >20% in total exercise time;
