About this study

Official title: Blood Pressure, Endothelial Cell Dysfunction, and Outcomes in Dialysis Patients

  1. To determine in a cross sectional case-controlled cohort study of 50 hemodialysis patients if blood pressure elevations with hemodialysis are associated with decreased endothelial cell function (measured by brachial artery flow mediated dilation and endothelial progenitor cell number), both of which are novel mechanistic markers in the causal pathway for detrimental cardiovascular outcomes; and
  2. To determine if lowering blood pressure with carvedilol in 25 ESRD subjects with blood pressure elevations with hemodialysis can improve endothelial cell dysfunction as a surrogate mechanistic marker for improving cardiovascular outcomes.

What participants receive

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

  • CarvedilolDrug

    Carvedilol 6.25 mg BID titrated weekly to maximum of 50 mg bid

Study groups in NCT00827775
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ControlNo interventionPatients without intradialytic hypertension defined as average pre to post hemodialysis SBP falling >10 mmhg for more than 4/6 of the last dialysis treatment sessions
InterventionActive comparatorPatients with intradialytic hypertension defined as average pre to post hemodialysis SBP elevation of >10 mmhg for more than 4/6 of the last dialysis treatment sessions
Receives: Drug: Carvedilol

What is being measured

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

  1. Endothelial Progenitor Cells

    1. ALDH bright cells reported as percentage of mononuclear cells. These were assayed using flow cytometry
    2. CD34/CD133 endothelial progenitor cells reported as percentage of mononuclear cells. These were assayed using flow cytometry

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Flow Mediated Vasodilation

    Measured as percent change in brachial artery diameter from baseline to post shear stress for an individual measurement. Follow up measurements were obtained in intervention subjects 12 weeks later

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Carvedilol in people with Intradialytic Hypertension, run by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at 3 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 5 inclusion and 8 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 3 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Nov 2020). 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?

Endothelial Progenitor Cells (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 NCT00827775, which also lists 3 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 3 Nov 2020.
