About this study

Official title: Phase 0 Study of The Effect of L-Citrulline Malate on Ankle Brachial Index Among Patients With Coronary Heart Disease According to Their Smoking History

In this randomized clinical trial before and after study we will assess the effect of L-citrulline malate on brachial index in patients with coronary heart disease based on their smoking history. Twenty patients with coronary heart disease with no history of diabetes or other chronic diseases and with no history of myocardial infarction in the last 6 months will participate in our trial.A written well-versed permission was attained from all patients. We will measure the brachial index tow times once before giving L-Citrulline malate and the other time after 2 weeks giving it.Patients receiving L-Citrulline malate as a 1 gram dry powder agent twice a day, that should in use with 250 mg dilute water .The patients will followed after 2 weeks by measuring brachial index which is our primary outcome measurement in this trial.We assumed that the brachial index in both smoker and non-smoker group of patients with coronary heart disease would change to normal or close to normal after giving 1 gram L-citrulline malate twice a day for 2 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing L-Citrulline malate in people with Coronary Heart Disease, run by Masih Daneshvari Hospital at 1 site in Iran.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Aug 2013. 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 Iran. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Babak Sharif-Kashani, cardiologist (0098-021-88883114, sharifk@nritld.ac.ir), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Brachial Index (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 6 Aug 2013.
