Ramipril, Endothelial Function and Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Study Description
Brief Summary:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ramipril on the endothelial function and on the number of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Drug: Ramipril Phase 2 Phase 3

Detailed Description:
The early detection of additional risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) such as endothelial dysfunction and low number of EPC in SLE patients, and an intervention proven effective could reduce the cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. No study assessed the effect of ramipril on endothelial function and EPCs in SLE patients.
Study Design
Layout table for study information
Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Actual Enrollment : 37 participants
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Single (Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Prevention
Official Title: Ramipril Improves Endothelial Function and Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: a Randomized and Controlled Study.
Study Start Date : March 2011
Actual Primary Completion Date : August 2013
Actual Study Completion Date : September 2013
Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: ramipril group
Use of ramipril 10mg/day per 12 weeks
Drug: Ramipril
Use of ramipril 10mg/day per 12 weeks. Telephone contact was made in the second and sixth week, to ask about possible side effects and ensure adherence
Other Name: angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI)

No Intervention: Control Group
Without ramipril
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Endothelial function - Variation of Flow mediated dilation percentage [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Patients were evaluated at baseline and after 12 weeks by high-resolution ultrasound of brachial artery in resting conditions, after reactive hyperaemia (flow-mediated dilation-FMD) and after oral glyceryl trinitrate to assess endothelial function

  2. Number of endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Patients were evaluated at baseline and after 12 weeks. EPCs were evaluated by flow cytometry using anti-CD34 (cluster of differentiation 34) (FITC), anti-CD133 (PE) and anti-kinase domain receptor (KDR) (APC) and by cell culture with quantification of colony formation units (CFUs).
