Benazepril Hydrochloride, Lisinopril, Ramipril, or Losartan Potassium in Treating Hypertension in Patients With Solid Tumors

July 30, 2018 updated by: Wake Forest University Health Sciences

A Phase II Study of the Effect of ACE Inhibitors on Pro-Angiogenic Hormones in Cancer Patients With Hypertension

RATIONALE: Benazepril hydrochloride, lisinopril, ramipril, and losartan potassium may help lower blood pressure.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well benazepril hydrochloride, lisinopril, ramipril, or losartan potassium works in treating hypertension in patients with solid tumors.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine which drug has the greatest effect on Ang-(1-7) levels in cancer patients with hypertension.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the effect of these drugs on levels of Ang II, VEGF, PlGF, and ACE in the same patients.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 4 treatment arms.

  • ARM I: Patients receive oral benazepril hydrochloride once daily on days 1-7.
  • ARM II: Patients receive oral lisinopril once daily on days 1-7.
  • ARM III: Patients receive oral ramipril twice daily on days 1-7.
  • ARM IV: Patients receive oral losartan potassium once daily on days 1-7. In all arms, treatment continues in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.
