Read the detailed description

The main objective of the study is to evaluate the endothelial function of WAK2017. In addition the effects on the blood pressure and the parameters of lipid metabolism will be explored.

Primary endpoint is defined as the difference in change in EndoPAT score RHI pre-dose and after 12 weeks of IP intake (visit V4 vs. V2) in comparison between the verum and placebo.

To characterize the benefit of the IP the following secondary endpoints will be analysed in comparison be-tween the verum and placebo:

  • EndoPAT AI at V4 vs. V2
  • SBP at V3, V4 vs. V2, respectively
  • DBP at V3, V4 vs. V2, respectively
  • Fasting LDL-C concentrations and non-HDL-C at V3, V4 vs. V2, respectively
  • Fasting TC concentrations at V3, V4 vs. V2, respec-tively
  • Fasting HDL-C concentrations at V3, V4 vs. V2, respectively
  • Fasting TG concentrations at V3, V4 vs. V2, respectively
  • Fasting LDL-C/HDL-C and TC/HDL-C ratio at V3, V4 vs. V2, respectively
  • SCORE value at V3, V4 vs. V2, respectively
  • Global evaluation of benefit by the subjects/ investigator at V4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing WAK2017 in people with Endothelial Function and Blood Pressure, run by Analyze & Realize at 2 sites in Germany.

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 15 inclusion and 38 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Germany. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Maya Ulbricht (0049 3040 00 8 ext. 1 62, mulbricht@a-r.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Endo-PAT RHI value (time frame: Visit 2 and Visit 4 after 84 days ± 6 days after Visit 2). 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 9 Nov 2017.
