About this study

Official title: Effect of a Protein Hydrolysate Rich in Lacto-tripeptide (IPP) on Hyperemic Blood Flow and Flow-mediated Dilation in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

This study will investigate whether the lacto-tripeptide Ile-Pro-Pro (IPP) improves the function of the endothelium in patients with coronary artery disease. The study has a crossover design. Participants will be treated with a protein hydrolysate rich in IPP for 12 weeks and placebo for 12 weeks with a four-week rest period between treatment periods. The investigators will use ultrasound to test the function of the endothelium in the brachial artery before, after 6 weeks, and after 12 weeks of each treatment. Blood will be collected before and after each treatment. The investigators hypothesize that IPP will improve endothelial function.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing IPP in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Boston University 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 1 inclusion and 4 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 25 May 2012. 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.

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?

Brachial Artery Flow-Mediated Dilation and Reactive Hyperemia (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 25 May 2012.
