About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Cross-Over Study to Evaluate the Safety, Lipid-Lowering Effect and Hypotensive Effect of Shanzha Fruit Drink in Patients With Mild to Moderate Hyperlipidemia

This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study. Subjects who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be randomly and alternatively assigned to receive Shanzha fruit drink or placebo drink in the first 2 months or the last two months of the 5 months study period. In between the first and second treatment period, all patients will enter a Washout Period of 4 weeks and during which time patients should not receive any of the study functional fruit drink.

Being tested
Shanzha Fruit drink or placebo drink

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the hypolipidemic effect of Shanzha Fruit drink in patients with hyperlipidemia

    The lipid profile including total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides will be measured at the start and the end of the study and changes from the baseline to the end of the treatment will be evaluated.

    Measured: 5 months.

  2. To evaluate the safety of Shanzha Fruit drink in patients with hyperlipidemia by monitoring of liver function tests.

    Alanine transaminase (ALT) levels as the main liver function test will be measured at the start and the end of the study.

    Measured: 5 months.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To evaluate the hypotensive effect of Shanzha Fruit Drink

    The changes in the systolic and diastolic blood pressure from the baseline to the end of the treatment will be evaluated.

    Measured: 5 months.

  2. To evaluate the safety of Shanzha Fruit drink in patients with hyperlipidemia by recording any adverse events reported by the study subjects or noted by the investigator.

    Any adverse events reported by the study subjects or noted by the investigator will be recorded at all the study visits after the initial study visit.

    Measured: 5 months.

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?

To evaluate the hypolipidemic effect of Shanzha Fruit drink in patients with hyperlipidemia (time frame: 5 months.). The study lists 2 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.
