About this study

Official title: A Multi-center, Double-Blind Randomized, Cross-over, Active-control, Comparative Clinical Study to Evaluate the Administration Time-dependent Antihypertensive Effects of Low Dose Aspirin in Well-Controlled Hypertensive Patients (Phase IV)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of aspirin on blood pressure in well-controlled hypertensive patients who receive low dose aspirin at different times of the day

Read the detailed description

Recent studies showed that low dose aspirin exerts a significant administration time-dependent effect on blood pressure in previously untreated hypertensive patients. However, this effect has not been confirmed in patients taking low-dose aspirin in combination with antihypertensive medications. A multi-center, double-blind randomized, cross-over, active-control, comparative clinical study will be conducted to evaluate the influence of aspirin on blood pressure in well-controlled hypertensive patients who receive low dose aspirin at different times of the day.

Approximately 192 patients will be enrolled over 4 months in 8 centers nationwide.

After placebo run-in period, all subjects will be randomized into one of the following 3 groups.

Group I \& II will take low dose aspirin for treatment period (for first and second 12 weeks)on awakening or before bed time. Group III will take placebo for treatment period.

After first 12 weeks' treatment period, the subjects will be informed whether she/he belongs to Group III. This will be done without breaking the double blinding in the other 2 groups.

The primary objective will be the evaluation of the influence of aspirin on blood pressure in well-controlled hypertensive patients who receive low dose aspirin at different times of the day.

The secondary objectives will be 1) comparison of the administration time-dependent effects of low dose aspirin on blood pressure between dipper and non-dipper patients and 2) the evaluation of the effects of low dose aspirin in Korean hypertensive patients.

A sub-study will be conducted in 3 centers to evaluate the effect of aspirin on endothelial function in patients with well-controlled hypertension.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Aspirin enteric coated pellests 100mg in people with Well-controlled Hypertension, run by Boryung Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd at 1 site in South Korea.

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 6 inclusion and 20 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 15 Dec 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

the changes in diastolic blood pressure. 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 NCT00386529, which also lists 5 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 15 Dec 2010.
