About this study

The researchers hypothesize that the impact of increasing systemic exposure to atenolol leads to increased risk for adverse metabolic effects from atenolol therapy in hypertension. This will be accomplished through a 24-hour pharmacokinetic (PK) study and oral glucose tolerance test in hypertensive patients taking chronic atenolol 100 mg daily.

Read the detailed description

The current study is a sub-study of Pharmacogenomic Evaluation of Antihypertensive Responses (PEAR - NCT00246519). The primary objective of this pharmacokinetic (PK) study is to investigate the correlation of atenolol Cp with hypertriglyceridemia and insulin sensitivity in mild to moderate hypertensive patients after 6-8 weeks of atenolol treatment.

Participants will undergo the PK study when they have been on atenolol 100 mg once daily for at least 4 weeks and on atenolol therapy (50 mg or 100 mg) for ≥ 7 weeks. They will undergo a two hour Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), 1 hour after atenolol dosing. Blood will be drawn at 12 time points for 24 hours. Atenolol Cp will be measured in all 12 blood samples and will be correlated with the glucose/insulin measured during the OGTT.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation of area under curve (AUC) up to 24 hour time point of atenolol plasma drug concentrations and glucose/insulin values obtained from OGTT and triglycerides

    Measured: Glucose/insulin will be measured during 2 hour Oral Glucose Tolerance Test and from baseline measurements from PEAR, triglycerides will be measured from baseline lab measurements from PEAR and during the pharmacokinetic study

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. HDL-cholesterol, fatty acids, total cholesterol

    Measured: Baseline lab values from PEAR and before the start of pharmacokinetic study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Glucose in people with Hypertension, run by University of Florida at 1 site 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 2 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 20 Sep 2011. 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 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.

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?

Correlation of area under curve (AUC) up to 24 hour time point of atenolol plasma drug concentrations and glucose/insulin values obtained from OGTT and triglycerides (time frame: Glucose/insulin will be measured during 2 hour Oral Glucose Tolerance Test and from baseline measurements from PEAR, triglycerides will be measured from baseline lab measurements from PEAR and during the pharmacokinetic study). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 20 Sep 2011.
