About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Vascular Function, Effects of Exercise Training and Angiotensin Receptor II Antagonist in Patients With Type II Diabetes and Hypertension by Using Near-infrared Spectroscopy, Rapid Laser Doppler Blood Flow Imaging and Circulating Biomarkers

The aims of this clinical trial are to assess the impacts on vascular function tests and circulating biomarkers of a short-term (12-week) low-to-median intensity exercise training or ARBs treatment in patients with DM and hypertension.

Read the detailed description

Inclusion criteria: type II diabetic and hypertensive patients who are aged 30 to 70 year-old with HbA1c ≤ 8.0 % and systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg. Neither ACEI nor ARB is administrated in recent 6 months. None has significant concomitant systemic diseases such as active infection, malignancy, hepatic or significant renal dysfunction at the time of enrollment (i.e. total bilirubin > 3 mg/dl,ALT > 2.5 times the upper limit of normal range and creatinine > 3 mg/dl in our hospital). Information regarding smoking, hypertension, hyperlipidemia as well as history of cardiovascular disease is obtained from all subjects. No other medication will be modified during the study period. After enrollment, patients are assessed to (1) olmesartan (20 mg per day, with titration), (2) life modification/exercise training for 12 weeks. Vascular function and exercise capacity studies, and peripheral blood testing are performed at baseline and at 12- week follow-up. Data are collected as mean ± SD showing comparison between groups by use of 2-sample t test and chi-square analysis for continuous and categorical variables, respectively. Adjust for the HbA1c level will be adjusted using simple adjustment method (ANCOVA or equivalent regression analysis) while doing the data analysis. Changes between baseline and follow-up measurements are assessed by paired t test. The frequencies of adverse effects between groups will also be comparing by 2-sample t test. A p value <0.05 is defined as statistically significant.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Vascular Function and Exercise Training, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 16 Nov 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 Taiwan. 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?

1. Vascular function testing (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 16 Nov 2012.
