About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Multi-Center Study Comparing the Effects of Carvedilol Modified Release Formulation (COREG MR) and Atenolol in Combination With and Compared to an Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor (Lisinopril) on Left Ventricular Mass Regression in Hypertensive Patients With Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH).

This study is designed to compare the effects of COREG MR (carvedilol modified release formulation) to atenolol on indices of left ventricular dimensions when added to standardized angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition, and to the effect of ACE inhibition alone. Subjects with LVH (left ventricular hypertrophy) and hypertension will be studied. The primary endpoint will be the change in left ventricular mass index (LVMI) characterized by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) following 12 months of treatment. Secondary endpoints include the change in LV (left ventricular) mass, LV wall thickness, diastolic left ventricular filling parameters, and left ventricular ejection fraction by echocardiographic methods at Treatment Month 12. Composite outcomes and individual event data will also be evaluated by treatment group.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Model-adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Left Ventricular Mass Indexed (LVMI) by Body Surface Area as Measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) at Month 12

    LVMI was measured by MRI at Baseline and after 12 months of treatment/Month 12. A reduction in left ventricular mass, calculated as LVMI, of 5 g/m^2 was assumed to be clinically meaningful. Change in Baseline was calculated as Month 12 value (or value after 12 months of treatment) minus the Baseline value.

    Measured: Baseline and Month 12 (If Month 12 data were not available, the Last Observation Carried Forward [LOCF] analysis, which includes data collected on or after Month 9 of treatment to Month 12 of treatment, was used)

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Model-adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Left Ventricular Mass Indexed by Height (LVMIH) as Measured by MRI at Month 12

    LVMIH was measured by MRI at Baseline and after 12 months of treatment/Month 12. Change in Baseline was calculated as Month 12 value (or value after 12 months of treatment) minus the Baseline value. LV mass depends on body size. One method of determining whether an individual has LV hypertrophy relates LV mass to height raised to a power of 2.7.

    Measured: Baseline and Month 12 (If Month 12 data were not available, the LOCF analysis, which includes data collected on or after Month 9 of treatment to Month 12 of treatment, was used)

  2. Model-adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Left Ventricular (LV) Mass as Measured by MRI at Month 12

    LV Mass was measured by MRI at Baseline and after 12 months of treatment/Month 12. Change in Baseline was calculated as Month 12 value (or value after 12 months of treatment) minus the Baseline value.

    Measured: Baseline and Month 12 (If Month 12 data were not available, the LOCF analysis, which includes data collected on or after Month 9 of treatment to Month 12 of treatment, was used)

  3. Model-adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Left Ventricular Mass Indexed (LVMI) by Body Surface Area as Measured by Echocardiography at Month 12

    LVMI was measured by echogradiography at Baseline and after 12 months of treatment/Month 12. Change in Baseline was calculated as Month 12 value (or value after 12 months of treatment) minus the Baseline value.

    Measured: Baseline and Month 12 (If Month 12 data were not available, the LOCF analysis, which includes data collected on or after Month 9 of treatment to Month 12 of treatment, was used)

  4. Model-adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Left Ventricular Mass Indexed by Height (LVMIH) as Measured by Echocardiography at Month 12

    LVMIH was measured by echogradiography at Baseline and after 12 months of treatment/Month 12. Change in Baseline was calculated as Month 12 value (or value after 12 months of treatment) minus the Baseline value.

    Measured: Baseline and Month 12 (If Month 12 data were not available, the LOCF analysis, which includes data collected on or after Month 9 of treatment to Month 12 of treatment, was available)

  5. Model-adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in LV Mass as Measured by Echocardiography at Month 12

    LV Mass was measured by echocardiography at Baseline and after 12 months of treatment/Month 12. Change in Baseline was calculated as Month 12 value (or value after 12 months of treatment) minus the Baseline value.

    Measured: Baseline and Month 12 (If Month 12 data were not available, the LOCF analysis, which includes data collected on or after Month 9 of treatment to Month 12 of treatment, was used)

  6. Mean Change From Baseline in LV Filling Parameters as Measured by MRI at Month 12

    LV filling parameters, LV E-Volume and LV A-Volume, were measured by MRI at Baseline and after 12 months of treatment/Month 12. Change in Baseline was calculated as Month 12 value (or value after 12 months of treatment) minus the Baseline value. These filling parameters represent the volumes of blood filling the ventricle during the passive filling phase (E-volume) and the active filling phase caused by atrial contraction (A-volume).

    Measured: Baseline and Month 12 (If Month 12 data were not available, the LOCF analysis, which includes data collected on or after Month 9 of treatment to Month 12 of treatment, was used)

  7. Model-adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in LV End Systolic and Diastolic Volumes and Ejection Fraction as Measured by MRI at Month 12

    LV End Systolic and Diastolic Volumes and Ejection Fraction were measured by MRI at Baseline and after 12 months of treatment/Month 12. Change in Baseline was calculated as Month 12 value (or value after 12 months of treatment) minus the Baseline value. The ejection fraction is the fraction of the blood volume available at the end of diastole that is pumped out of the ventricules during systole.

    Measured: Baseline and Month 12 (If Month 12 data were not available, the LOCF analysis, which includes data collected on or after Month 9 of treatment to Month 12 of treatment, was used)

  9. Model-adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure (BP) at Month 12

    Systolic and Diastolic BP were measured at Baseline and after 12 months of treatment/Month 12. Change in Baseline was calculated as Month 12 value (or value after 12 months of treatment) minus the Baseline value.

    Measured: Baseline and Month 12 (If Month 12 data were not available, the LOCF analysis, which includes data collected on or after Month 9 of treatment to Month 12 of treatment, was used)

  10. Model-adjusted Ratio to Baseline as Percentage Change From Baseline in Log Transformed B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) at Month 12

    BNP concentration (picagram per milliter) was measured at Baseline and after 12 months of treatment/Month 12. Percentage change from Baseline was based on log transformed data and was calculated as 100 x (exponent (mean change on log scale) -1) [Change is the Month 12 value (or value after 12 months of treatment) minus the Baseline value].

    Measured: Baseline and Month 12 (If Month 12 data were not available, the LOCF was used

  11. Model-adjusted Ratio to Baseline as Percentage Change From Baseline in Log Transformed C-Reactive Protein (CRP) at Month 12

    CRP concentration (milligrams per deciliter) was measured at Baseline and after 12 months of treatment/Month 12.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing carvedilol MR, atenolol and lisinopril in people with Hypertrophy, Left Ventricular, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 78 sites in United States.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 78 sites in United States. 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. 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?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Nov 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Model-adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Left Ventricular Mass Indexed (LVMI) by Body Surface Area as Measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) at Month 12 (time frame: Baseline and Month 12 (If Month 12 data were not available, the Last Observation Carried Forward [LOCF] analysis, which includes data collected on or after Month 9 of treatment to Month 12 of treatment, was used)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00108082, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 16 Dec 2016.
