  • efficacy endpoint : mean arterial blood pressure corrected to 105-125 mmHg after 120 min of study drug administration.
  • safety endpoints : clinical, biological and ultrasound observation for any side effect.All infants will be observed in the neonatology unit (during 48h).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • URAPIDIL (EUPRESSYL*)Drug

    Urapidil (Eupressyl*) :IV (PSE) 1 microg/kg/min° until reduction PAM 15 %. Reduction ¼ of the posology to obtain PAM between 105 and 125 mmHg with adjustment 0.25 microg/kg/min/15 min. Maximal dose = 30mg/h.

  • NICARDIPINEDrug

    Nicardipine : IV 6.25 mg bolus until PAD >105 mm/Hg. Perfusion (PSE) 4 mg/h to obtain PAM between 105 and 125 mm/Hg with adjustment 2mg/h/5 min without overshoot 20 mg/h Maximal treatment duration : 7 days

What is being measured

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

  1. Systolic, diastolic, mean blood pressure and pulse rate :-every 5 min during the titration phase-every 15 min up to the second hour treatment-every hour up to the 6th hour and every 3 hour during the rest of the treatment period.

    Measured: Systolic, diastolic, mean blood pressure and pulse rate :-every 5 min during the titration phase-every 15 min up to the second hour treatment-every hour up to the 6th hour and every 3 hour during the rest of the treatment period

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. -maternal and foetal ultrasonography, biology and clinical assessment-type of delivery-post-partum bleeding-neo-natal evaluation by neonatologist during the first 48 hours of life

    Measured: During the first 48hour of life

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing URAPIDIL (EUPRESSYL*) and NICARDIPINE in people with Hypertension During Pre-Eclampsia, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France at 4 sites in France.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Pierre Auguste DIEMUNSCH, MD (33.3.88.12.70.78, Pierre.Diemunsch@chru-strasbourg.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Systolic, diastolic, mean blood pressure and pulse rate :-every 5 min during the titration phase-every 15 min up to the second hour treatment-every hour up to the 6th hour and every 3 hour during the rest of the treatment period. (time frame: Systolic, diastolic, mean blood pressure and pulse rate :-every 5 min during the titration phase-every 15 min up to the second hour treatment-every hour up to the 6th hour and every 3 hour during the rest of the treatment period). 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 NCT00409253, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Feb 2009.
