Background
 The efficacy of aspirin and other antiplatelets in
secondary prevention of cerebral infarction has
been demonstrated in various studies and metaanalyses, mostly conducted in the US and EU.
 A significant reduction in risk of recurrence of
cerebral infarction for cilostazol compared with
placebo was demonstrated in the Cilostazol
Stroke Prevention Study (CSPS)
 Cilostazol Stroke Prevention StudyⅡ (CSPSⅡ) is
the first, long-term, large-scale, phase4 clinical
trial in Japan.

Outline of study plan
 Objective:This study was designed to investigate
whether cilostazol is superior to aspirin in
secondary prevention of cerebral infarction in stroke
patients in Japan.

for a total of 2600
 Number of study institutions:294
 Study period:5 years,

Results
• Cilostazol significantly reduced occurrence of stroke
(cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, or
subarachnoid hemorrhage) compared with aspirin.
(P=0.0357,RRR=25.7% )。
• Cilostazol significantly reduced occurrence of cerebral
stroke, TIA, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction,
cardiac failure, or hemorrhage requiring hospitalization
compared with aspirin. (P=0.0437、RRR=20.1% )
• Cilostazol significantly reduced occurrence of bleeding
events (cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage,
bleeding requiring hospitalization)(P=0.0004、
RRR=54.2%)
#28-Tanahashi
Conclusions
• Cilostazol demonstrated efficacy in
preventing recurrent stroke in patients with
cerebral infarction, with less bleeding
compared to aspirin for the first time.
• Cilostazol is a suitable first option for the
prevention of recurrent stroke.

●Improvement of Endothelial Barrier function

Summary
• Intracranial hemorrhage was more frequent in S-ACCESS and
CSPS2 compared with the trials conducted in western in the
aspirin group
• Cilostazol decrease Incidence of intracranial hemorrhage
Compared with Aspirin
• In CSPS2, more intracranial hemorrhage was observed in
patients with lacunar infarction compared with those with
atherothrombotic infarction.
• High bleeding tendency in Japanese population might be
attributable to high rate of lacunar patients (>60%) enrolled
in these trials.

Conclusion
Japanese population are considered to have
higher bleeding tendency
That ‘s reason why Lacuna infarcton is higher
rate in japanese population
Thus results of western trials may not be
applicable to Japanese population.
