Purpose
In this study, we investigate the effects of Ginseol Kg1 (Korea red ginseng extract) on blood pressure in prehypertensive or stage I hypertensive patients.

|---|---|---|
| Prehypertension Hypertension, Stage I | Drug: Ginseol Kg1 (low dose) Drug: Ginseol Kg1(high dose) Drug: Placebo | Phase 3 |
| Study Type: | Interventional |
| Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Triple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator) Primary Purpose: Treatment |
| Official Title: | Effect of Ginseol Kg1 on Blood Pressure Lowering in Prehypertensive or Stage I Hypertensive Patients: Multicenter, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind Study |
Further study details as provided by Kwang-il Kim, Seoul National University Hospital:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- The difference of the changes in office diastolic and systolic BP after 8 weeks' treatment between placebo and Ginseol Kg1 group [ Time Frame: baseline and 8 week ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- The difference of the changes in the mean 24-hour ambulatory systolic and diastolic BP after 8 weeks' treatment between placebo and Ginseol Kg1 group. [ Time Frame: baseline and 8 week ]
- The difference of the change in the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity after 8 weeks' treatment between placebo and Ginseol Kg1 group. [ Time Frame: baseline and 8 week ]
- The difference of the change in the hs-CRP after 8 weeks' treatment between placebo and Ginseol Kg1 group. [ Time Frame: baseline and 8 week ]
- The difference of the change in the lipid profiles after 8 weeks' treatment between placebo and Ginseol Kg1 group [ Time Frame: baseline and 8 week ]
- The difference of the changes in office diastolic and systolic BP after 4 weeks' treatment between placebo and Ginseol Kg1 group. [ Time Frame: baseline and 4 week ]

Detailed Description:
This is a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study. At the end of an initial 2-week washout period, patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria are assigned to three groups, i.e. control group (placebo), low dose Ginseol Kg1 group (100mg), or high dose Ginseol Kg1 (300mg) group. They will intake the study drug for 8 weeks. 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) and pulse wave velocity are measured at the end of the washout period and after 8 weeks of active treatment. At each visit, seated SBP and DBP, heart rate, use of concomitant medication and spontaneously reported adverse events are recorded. Compliance with medication (determined by counting returned tablets) is evaluated at each visit.
