Trial summary

Bisphenol A(BPA) is an endocrine disrupting chemical, which mimics the action of estrogen. Previous studies reported that BPA exposure is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Exposure to BPA occur mainly through oral route, and epoxy coating of canned food is one of the well established source. Read more about this study

About this study

  • Bisphenol A(BPA) is an endocrine disrupting chemical, which mimics the action of estrogen.
  • Previous studies reported that BPA exposure is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases.
  • Exposure to BPA occur mainly through oral route, and epoxy coating of canned food is one of the well established source.
  • The investigators hypothesis is that increased BPA exposure from canned beverage would disrupt normal physiology in a short term.
  • In the present trial the investigators are to investigate whether increased BPA exposure by consuming canned beverage actually affect cardiovascular indices and epigenetic feature.
  • For this aim, the investigators will conduct a cross-over trial.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Can 1, Can 2 and Glass in people with Hypertension, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. 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?

Blood Pressure (time frame: 2 hours after consuming beverage). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02096991, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 Mar 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
