About this study

Official title: The Influence of Hypotensive Drugs on Zinc, Copper and Iron Status in Experimental and Clinical Studies.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of hypotensive treatment combined with a higher zinc supply in the diet and supplements on the mineral status and selected biochemical parameters of newly diagnosed hypertensive patients on monotherapy.

Read the detailed description

The study was designed as a prospective randomized trial and was performed in three stages. In the first stage, primary hypertension was diagnosed and antihypertensive monotherapy was implemented. In the second stage, patients underwent antihypertensive monotherapy lasting three months. The subjects received diuretics; calcium antagonists (Ca-antagonists); angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACE-Is); angiotensin II receptor antagonists (ARBs); or β-blockers. After three months of monotherapy, patients were divided using a randomization list into three equal groups: C (control group), D (diet group) and S (supplementation group). In the third stage, which lasted 30 days, subjects from all groups received the same antihypertensive drug as in the second stage and either an optimal-mineral-content diet (group D), zinc supplementation (group S), or continued drug use with no change in diet and no mineral supplementation (group C). Patients from group D received an optimal-mineral-content properly balanced diet enriched in food with high zinc content prepared individually for each patient by a qualified dietician. Patients from group S received zinc supplementation as one capsule containing 15 mg of Zn taken orally once a day in the morning, two hours after antihypertensive drug administration with no change in diet, through all 30 days of the third stage of the trial.

During the study, patients were asked to not use dietary supplements and not to change their lifestyle or level of physical activity. On the last day of each stage of the study, blood, urine, and hair samples were collected from the subjects, and blood pressure and anthropometric parameters were measured.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing group/arm D (diet group) and group/arm S (supplementation group) in people with Nutritional Disorder and Hypertension, run by Poznan University of Life Sciences at 1 site in Poland.

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 5 inclusion and 12 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 14 Mar 2018. 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 Poland. 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?

Serum zinc- stage I (time frame: At baseline). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Mar 2018.
