About this study

Official title: A Pilot Trial on Efficacy and Safety of a Formula Salt With Very Low Sodium (Manlikang) in Reducing Salt Intake and Blood Pressure Among Patients With Hypertension in Community

This study is a single arm trial with before-after comparison design. Three groups of patients with hypertension will be recruited: not taking antihypertension drugs and having normal renal function, taking antihypertension drugs and having normal renal function, and having abnormal renal function without regards of antihypertension drugs use. Each group includes 30 patients. Based on renal function test, the investigators provide the Manlikang containing potassium chloride to patients with normal renal function, and provide the Manlikang not containing potassium chloride to patients with abnormal renal function. All hypertension patients will use the formula salt with very low sodium (Manlikang) for six weeks, and will be followed up at 1, 2, 4 and 6 weeks. The primary outcome will be the decrease of patients' systolic blood pressure at the end of the trial.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • formula salt with very low sodium (Brand name: Manlikang)Dietary supplement

    hypertension patients will use the formula salt with very low (<20%) sodium (Manlikang) for six weeks, and will be followed up at 1, 2, 4 and 6 weeks to assess the 24-hour urine sodium.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the change of systolic pressure

    the change of systolic pressure before and after taking Manlikang

    Measured: baseline and 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. the change in 24-hour urine sodium

    the change of 24-hour urine sodium before and after taking Manlikang

    Measured: baseline and 6 weeks

  2. incidence of reducing antihypertensive drug dose

    the incidence of reducing antihypertensive drug dose after taking Manlikang in each group.

    Measured: up to 6 weeks

  3. incidence of reaching the normal blood pressure

    blood pressure reaches the standard of systolic pressure<140mmHg and diastolic pressure<90mmHg after taking Manlikang.

    Measured: up to 6 weeks

  4. adverse event

    the adverse events after taking Manlikang

    Measured: up to 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing formula salt with very low sodium (Brand name: Manlikang) in people with Hypertension and Hypertension With Abnormal Renal Function, run by Peking University at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 9 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 21 Mar 2019. 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 China. 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?

the change of systolic pressure (time frame: baseline and 6 weeks). 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 NCT03226327, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 21 Mar 2019.
