About this study

Official title: Multicenter, Open-Label (Non-Comparative) Study To Evaluate Changes In Flow Mediated Dilatation During And After A 6 Months Treatment Period With Step By Step Increased Doses With Quinapril Therapy In Post-Menopausal Women With Mild Or Moderate Hypertension

ACE inhibitors are thought to modify the endothelium in a number of ways. Quinapril is an effective and well-tolerated ACE-I for the treatment of patients with hypertension and congestive heart failure. Quinapril produces favourable haemodynamic changes and improves ventricular and endothelial function in patients with various cardiovascular disorders. These effects are mediated through the binding of quinaprilat to both tissue and plasma-ACE.

Quinapril 10 to 40 mg once daily improved endothelial function (as measured by improved FMD or reduced vasoconstrictive/increased vasodilative response to Ach) in patients with CAD and hypertension over 2 to 6 months of therapy; improved endothelial function was also observed in patients with CHF receiving a single infusion of quinaprilat. In general, quinapril showed neutral or beneficial effects on lipid profiles, glycaemia and renal haemodynamics. (3) There are no data available considering effects of quinapril on endothelial dysfunction in post- menopausal woman with mild to moderate hypertension and with pathological endothelial function.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To evaluate the effect of 10, 20 and 40 mg daily sequential quinapril doses in a 3 x 8 weeks treatment period as changes to baseline pathological FMD.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 1.In a subgroup of about 30 patients to assess microvascular vasomotor function by laser Doppler (LD) techniques. For all patients: 2.Evaluation of changes of BP parameters. 3.Changes in PAI-1 level. 4.Collect safety data.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing quinapril and Laser Doppler imaging in people with Menopause and Hypertension, run by Pfizer at 5 sites in Hungary.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Apr 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Hungary. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate the effect of 10, 20 and 40 mg daily sequential quinapril doses in a 3 x 8 weeks treatment period as changes to baseline pathological FMD.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Apr 2007.
