Summary

This trialwill explore how genetic differences can influence how effective ACEI drugs are and how well they're tolerated by different people.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy men and women aged 18-55, with a balanced gender ratio. Participants must not have significant diseases or abnormal lab results, be non-smokers, not pregnant, and use birth control if applicable. Asians are excluded due to genetic reasons related to the study's focus.
What is being tested?
The trial studies how genetic differences affect the body's ability to activate Enalapril, a common drug for high blood pressure and heart issues. It looks at how well different people process the drug because of their unique genes.
What are the potential side effects?
While this study involves healthy volunteers taking Enalapril, potential side effects can include coughing, dizziness due to low blood pressure, kidney problems, elevated potassium levels in the blood and rarely swelling of tissues (angioedema).

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Study objectives can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary study objectives
The measurements of the mean area under the curve (AUC) of enalaprilat plasma concentrations
Secondary study objectives
The measurements of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity in plasma
The measurements of blood pressures (BPs) following enalapril treatment
The measurements of the maximum enalaprilat plasma concentrations

Awards & Highlights

Drug Has Already Been Approved
The FDA has already approved this drug, and is just seeking more data.
No Placebo-Only Group
All patients enrolled in this study will receive some form of active treatment.
Pivotal Trial
The final step before approval, pivotal trials feature drugs that have already shown basic safety & efficacy.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: non-carrier control groupActive Control1 Intervention
Subjects who do not carry the CES1 variant G143E (rs71647871) will receive 10 mg Enalapril orally once daily for 7 consecutive days.
Group II: G143E carriers groupActive Control1 Intervention
Subjects who carry the CES1 variant G143E (rs71647871) will receive 10 mg Enalapril orally once daily for 7 consecutive days.
