This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, and parallel study. The study is comprised of three main phases: a single-blind placebo run-in qualifying phase lasting about 14 days, a double-blind treatment phase of 12 weeks, and a 2-week follow-up phase. Approximately 18 patients will be enrolled and randomly assigned to receive placebo or 1,000 mg of extended-release Ranolazine twice-daily for 12 weeks to reach 14 evaluable patients at the end of the study.
