About this study

The purpose of the trial is to evaluate the effect of Djulis-Buckwheat drink on cardiovascular protection after ingesting for 8 weeks. In addition, the correlation between the supplement and the cardiovascular disease-related gene expression is evaluated. The results will be used for the application of functional products for cardiovascular protection.

Ninety subjects (age 30~65) with Prehypertension or Hypertension stage 1 will be included and randomly allocated into 3 groups: Placebo, Djulis-Buckwheat and Buckwheat. The subjects will take sample (100 ml/day) for 8 weeks. Blood pressure will be measured on week 0, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8. The blood biochemical parameters and gene expression analysis will be examined on week 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 (the follow up).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Djulis-Buckwheat and Buckwheat in people with Prehypertension and Hypertension Stage 1, run by Taipei Medical University Hospital.

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 2 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 2023. 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.

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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.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?

Change of blood pressure (time frame: Baseline, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 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 22 Nov 2023.
