About this study

Official title: Acute Effects of Sildenafil on Flow Mediated Dilatation and Cardiovascular Autonomic Nerve Function in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial using a single dose of 100 mg sildenafil or placebo in 40 subjects with T2DM without known cardiovascular disease. Effects on haemodynamic parameters, flow mediated dilatation (FMD) in brachial artery, cardiovascular autonomic function tests, and spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) were investigated.

Being tested
Sildenafil

    Also called Viagra

    Orally administered, Sildenafil 100mg, unique administration

What is being measured

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

  1. Improvement of flow mediated dilatation of the brachial artery following a single dose of 100mg Sildenafil.

    Measured: 60 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in hemodynamics and cardiovascular parasympathetic and sympathetic nerve function using time domain and frequency domain indexes of heart rate variability (HRV) and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) following a single dose of 100mg Sildenafil.

    Measured: 60 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Sildenafil in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Endothelial Dysfunction, run by Ruhr University of Bochum at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 11 Sep 2007. 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 Germany. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Improvement of flow mediated dilatation of the brachial artery following a single dose of 100mg Sildenafil. (time frame: 60 minutes). 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 11 Sep 2007.
