About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized, Superiority Clinical Study to Compare the Effects of Cilnidipine on Metabolic Syndrome Improvement With Nifedipine GITS in Hypertensive Patients With Metabolic Syndrome (Phase IV) [SLIMS]

Abnormalities of glucose, insulin and lipoprotein metabolism are common in patients with hypertension, and these metabolic abnormalities are reported to be related to insulin resistance. Therefore, whenever treating such patients, antihypertensive agents that may have the added effect of improving insulin resistance should be selected. CinalongTM (Cilnidipine) is expected to improve metabolic syndrome as well as insulin resistance by its dual effects on L and N-type calcium (Ca) channels. In this study, the researchers investigate the effects of CinalongTM on insulin resistance and other metabolic related factors.

  • Multi-center, randomized, prospective, double blind, active control, parallel study
  • Superiority study (Treatment group - Cilnidipine/Control group - Nifedipine)
  • Measure the effects of Cinalong(TM) after 3 month and 12 month-application

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Cilnidipine in people with Hypertension and Metabolic Syndrome X, run by Boryung Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd 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 6 inclusion and 2 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 27 Aug 2008. 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?

Homeostasis model assessment of insulin sensitivity (HOMA-IR) (time frame: after 3 month and 12 month treatment). 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.

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 27 Aug 2008.
