About this study

Official title: Comparative Trial of the Effects of Irbesartan vs Atenolol on the Endothelial Function of Hypertensive Patients With Metabolic Syndrome

Primary:

  • To evaluate the impact of irbesartan on endothelial function in hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome.

Secondary:

  • To evaluate the oxidative stress status in patients with hypertension with metabolic syndrome.
  • To correlate the oxidative stress status with endothelial function in these patients.
  • To evaluate the effect of irbesartan on the oxidative stress stage in patients with metabolic syndrome and to correlate it with the effect on endothelial function .
  • To correlate the change in endothelial function and oxidative stress stage with the change of arterial pressure levels.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing IRBESARTAN and Atenolol in people with Hypertension, run by Sanofi.

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 5 inclusion and 13 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 12 Jan 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Endothelial function in vivo qualification: brachial artery flow mediated vasodilation (FMV%) determined by high resolution ultrasound. (time frame: at baseline and at the end of the study-12th wk). 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 12 Jan 2011.
