About this study

Official title: Vascular Benefits of Adding CarvedilolCR to Type2 Diabetic Patients on ACEI:Effects on Oxidative Stress and Inflammation.

To determine whether addition of Carvedilol CR to diabetic patients with hypertension who are receiving the ACEi,Lisinopril,will provide added benefits to blood vessels when compared to treatment with Lisinopril alone.It is believed that carvedilol provides added benefits by suppressing free radicals(charged substances that cause damage to the body ) and inflammation.

Read the detailed description

Type 2 diabetes is an atherosclerotic, pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidative stress.Both vascular oxidative stress and inflammation are CVD risk factors and impact endothelial function.

Carvedilol has been demonstrated in preclinical and clinical studies (although limited in size) to exert anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties: (1) reduce the inflammation markers such as high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP); (2) reduce oxidative stress via dually eliminating existing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and suppressing the generation of ROS; (3) prevent lipid peroxidation in myocardial cell membrane; (4) protect endothelial and vascular muscle cells from oxygen radical-mediated injury.

This project is about studying the effect of carvedilol CR on blood vessels of diabetic hypertensive patients as compared to Lisinopril alone.

This study involves weaning patient off their current antihypertensive medications and starting them on Lisinopril with Carvedilol CR or lisinopril alone for 6 months and studying the effects of the drugs during this period and thereafter.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Carvedilol Controlled Release (CR)Drug

    Also called COREG CR

    lisinopril starting dose in all patients 10 mg QD for 1 week then increase to 20 mg QD throughout the study.

    Initial dose: Carvedilol CR (20 mg QD, dose level 1) Titration: If tolerated, increase the dosage to 20 mg QD, 40 mg QD, and 80mg QD orally over successive intervals of at least 2 weeks to achieve target blood pressure sSBP <130 and sDBP < 80

  • lisinoprilDrug

    Also called lisinopril 10mg

    lisinopril starting dose in all patients 10 mg QD for 1 week then increase to 20 mg QD throughout the study

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Brachial Artery Vascular Reactivity

    Percent change from baseline in Brachial artery vascular reactivity at 6 months calculated as: (brachial reactivity at 6 months-brachial reactivity at 0 months)/brachial reactivity at 0 month *100

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in Oxidative Stress in Mononuclear Cells (MNC)

    Percent change from baseline in Reactive Oxygen species (ROS) generation in MNC at 6 months calculated as: (ROS at 6 months-ROS at 0 months)/ROS at 0 month *100

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing lisinopril in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 and Hypertension, run by University at Buffalo at 1 site in United States.

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 8 inclusion and 20 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Apr 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change in Brachial Artery Vascular Reactivity (time frame: 6 months). 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 16 Apr 2024.
