About this study

Official title: Rationale and Design of a Single Arm, Non-randomized Open-label Clinical Trial Evaluating a Tablet Made of Aqueous Extract of Annona Muricata in an African Hypertensive Population

The AM-HTN trial aim to investigate the effects of a tablet based on aqueous extracts of Annona muricata as add-on therapy in a hypertensive population.

Patients with prehypertension or stage 1 hypertension confirmed, will be selected and assign in a single arm, non randomly, open label clinical trial.

Read more

The group will receive in addition to their dietary measures, daily, one tablet of 796 mg of aqueous extracts of Annona muricata leaves.

The objective of AM-HTN is to determine the antihypertensive and metabolic effects of AM tablets in a population of African hypertensives.

Blood pressure profile, lipid profile, serum creatinine and transaminases profiles will be recorded and analysed at baseline and two months following enrolment.

What participants receive

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

  • Annona muricataDietary supplement

    Patients with prehypertension or stage 1 hypertension, in dietary measures, will received daily one tablet of 796 mg of aqueous extracts of Annona muricata leaves. During 60 days

Study groups in NCT03909945
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Interventional armExperimentalThe intervention consisted in the daily administration, during 60 days, of a 796 mg tablet of aqueous extracts of leaves of Annona muricata between 08:00 AM and 09:00 AM.
Receives: Dietary Supplement: Annona muricata

What is being measured

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

  1. Variation of the 24-hour systolic blood pressure (mmHg)

    Variation of the 24-hour systolic blood pressure adjusted for baseline by using Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)

    Measured: 60 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Variation in diurnal and nocturnal blood pressure (mmHg)

    Variation of diurnal and nocturnal blood pressure profile adjusted for baseline by using ABPM

    Measured: 60 days

  2. Variation in lipids profile (Triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, Total cholesterol) on g/L

    Variation on serum lipids (Triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, Total cholesterol) profiles on g/L, adjusted for baseline. By Trinder Method on spectrophotometry.

    Measured: 60 days

  3. Variation on serum creatinine (mg/L) and transaminases (SGOT/SGPT) profiles (UI/L)

    Variation on serum creatinine (mg/L) by Jaffé Method and serum transaminases (SGOT/SGPT) profiles (UI/L)adjusted from baseline. By spectrophotometer.

    Measured: 60 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Annona muricata in people with Hypertension, run by Yaounde Central Hospital at 1 site in Cameroon.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Apr 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 Cameroon. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Variation of the 24-hour systolic blood pressure (mmHg) (time frame: 60 days). 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 10 Apr 2019.
