About this study

Official title: Cardiovascular Safety Evaluation in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease During Physical Effort After Use Lodenafil Carbonate

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of lodenafil carbonate in patients with coronaropathy, evaluating the response of the body facing physical effort, including both heart and respiratory components, with and without use of lodenafil carbonate 80mg.

Read the detailed description

Phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (iPDE5) are effective drugs to treat erectile dysfunction (ED).

ED is linked to several factors, like advanced age and diabetes as predominant in its incidence. In addition, ED can be an early manifestation of cardiovascular diseases.

Among the iPDE5 existing in the Brazilian market there is a new molecule which called lodenafil carbonate. It was recently approve and release for use in Brazil, and has similar effectiveness and adverse reactions comparing with other drugs from the same family.

The molecule was evaluated with respect to possible changes in heart rate, blood pressure and QT interval, and the results point out excellent cardiovascular safety profile.

There is a corelated incidence between patients with coronary artery disease and erectile dysfunction. Although patients with stable angina and, under appropriate clinical treatment did not show increase in cardiovascular risks during sexual intercourse, the increased incidence of erectile dysfunction in this population determines a specific group of patients with high potential for use iPDE5.

Therefore it is essential that any new phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors should be evaluated in patients with coronary artery disease, especially in heart rate, during physical effort.

    Also called Helleva

    Patients will do a cardiopulmonary exercise test after placebo administration. Seven days later, a new cardiopulmonary test should be done using lodenafil carbonate, 80mg, orally.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing lodenafil carbonate in people with Erectile Dysfunction and Coronaropathy, run by Cristália Produtos Químicos Farmacêuticos Ltda. at 1 site in Brazil.

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 16 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jul 2015. 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 Brazil. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Evaluate changes in effort test showing the safety of lodenafil carbonate in patients with coronaropathy. (time frame: july 2009). 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 Jul 2015.
