Brief Summary:
This study will evaluate the effect of ranolazine compared to placebo on the average weekly angina frequency in subjects with chronic stable angina and coronary artery disease (CAD) who have a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and whether ranolazine can reduce the frequency of angina (chest pain) attacks, compared to a placebo. Subjects will be asked to record their daily angina episodes in a diary at the end of each study day. Ranolazine is approved for the treatment of chronic angina, and is not approved for the treatment of T2DM.
Detailed Description:
Participants who meet the eligibility criteria at screening will enter a 4-to 6-week Qualifying Period. The allowed concomitant antianginal medication(s) must be maintained at a stable dose throughout the study. Participants will document the number of angina episodes, number of sublingual nitroglycerin doses taken, and a dyspnea score (on a scale from 1 to 5) on a daily basis in a diary. Participants eligible to stay in the study after the Qualifying Period will enter the 8-week double-blind dosing phase. Participants will have study visits at the end of Weeks 2 and 8. Participants will continue to document the number of angina episodes and number of sublingual nitroglycerin doses taken as well as a dyspnea score on a daily basis by the end of each day in their diary. In addition, participants will be called during Week 2 and at the end of Week 5 to encourage compliance. A safety follow-up phone call will be made 14 days after the last study visit or early discontinuation.
