Trial summary

Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) are the first-line treatment for high blood pressure and congestive heart failure, and have excellent effects in improving the prognosis of cardiovascular diseases. However, ACEI is frequently discontinued due to its adverse reaction. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Precision Treatment Based on Genetic Information Associated With Response to Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor

Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) are the first-line treatment for high blood pressure and congestive heart failure, and have excellent effects in improving the prognosis of cardiovascular diseases. However, ACEI is frequently discontinued due to its adverse reaction. The adverse reaction to ACEI is not uncommon, especially in Asians. Discontinuation of ACEI is known to increase the risk of poor prognosis of cardiovascular diseases.

Biomarkers for predicting adverse reaction to ACEI have not yet been developed. Recently, genes related to adverse reaction to ACEI have been identified. This study is a randomized prospective study, in which the experimental group decides whether to administer the drug based on genetic information, and the control group decides whether to administer the drug without the information. In the experimental group, participants who are predicted to have a high risk of adverse reation to ACEI will receive angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB), and those who are predicted to have a low risk of adverse reaction will receive ACEI. Control group will receive ACEI. The frequency of adverse reaction will be investigated between control and experimental groups. In the genotyping and control groups, at least 45 and 31 will be enrolled, respectively, and after drug administration, a phone follow-up will be conducted at 3 weeks, followed by a visit at the 6th week, and the study will be terminated.

What participants receive

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

  • genotyping and selection of renin-angiotensin system blockerDrug

    One of perindopril or candesartan was chosen based on genotyping results on two NELL1 variants.

    • perindopril 4 mg/d after genotyping
    • candesartan 8 mg/d after genotyping
  • PerindoprilDrug

    perindopril 4 mg/d without genotyping

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing genotyping and selection of renin-angiotensin system blocker and Perindopril in people with Hypertension, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 inclusion and 10 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 11 Jan 2023. 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 South Korea. 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 phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Incidence of cough (time frame: 6 weeks after administration of drug). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05535595, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Jan 2023.
