About this study

Official title: Alternative in Beta Blocker Intolerance; the ABBI Trial

In this study the investigators will assess the tolerance of Nebivolol (Bystolic) in cardiovascular patients who are not able to tolerate conventional beta blockers. A side effect profile will be tracked and compared with previous beta blocker use.

The investigators hypothesize that Bystolic will be tolerated by many patients who are intolerant of conventional blockers.

Read the detailed description

Patients who have been prescribed standard beta blockers but were unable to tolerate them due to side effects will be studied. They will take a new beta blocker, Nebivolol (Bystolic) for 30 days, if tolerated. Side effects will be tracked and compared to previous.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Intolerance of Bystolic, Measured by Side Effect(s) That Lead to Discontinuance of Bystolic by the Patient and/or the Physician

    Measured: 30 Days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Participants With Termination of Bystolic Stratified by Reason

    Measured: 30 Days

  2. Incidence of Same Symptom Stopping Bystolic as Previous Beta Blocker

    Measured: 30 Days

  3. Number of Participants With Mild Symptoms

    Mild symptoms include weight gain, edema, and headaches

    Measured: 30 Days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Nebivolol in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation 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 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Aug 2019. 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.

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 17 Jul 2019). 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?

Number of Participants With Intolerance of Bystolic, Measured by Side Effect(s) That Lead to Discontinuance of Bystolic by the Patient and/or the Physician (time frame: 30 Days). 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 NCT00893984, 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 6 Aug 2019.
