About this study

Official title: A 25 Week, Open Label Study to Determine the Effects of Nebivolol When Added to Hydrochlorothiazide on Diastolic Function and Arterial Stiffness in African Americans With Hypertension

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Nebivolol and Hydrochlorothiazide on blood pressure in African Americans with high blood pressure.

Read the detailed description

Many blood pressure medications are not effective in African American men and women. The two lower chambers of the heart contract to pump blood to the body. The lower chambers have to relax so they can refill with blood to pump out again. Many patients with high blood pressure have stiffness in the lower chambers which prevents the heart from relaxing so it can properly fill with blood. Some patients with the stiffness in the lower chambers of the heart will develop heart failure.

The study is to test whether or not Nebivolol (Bystolic)and a diuretic Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) will help the heart relax so the heart can properly fill and prevent stiffness of the lower heart chambers.

What participants receive

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

  • NebivololDrug

    Also called Bystolic

    5mg/day with increase to 10 mg/day to reach blood pressure <140/90

  • HydrochlorothiazideDrug

    Also called HCTZ

    Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg/day

Arm AActive comparatorNebivolol to reach blood pressure control
Receives: Drug: Nebivolol
Arm BActive comparatorHydrochlorothiazide for blood pressure control
Receives: Drug: Hydrochlorothiazide

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after treatment with nebivolol and reaching normal blood pressure <140/90

    Measured: Every visit for 25 weeks (9 study visits)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Differences after nebivolol treatment on diastolic function as measured by tissue doppler imaging (ECHO), arterial compliance and stiffness and vascular nitric oxide availability determined by neutrophil function

    Measured: At the begining and end of study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nebivolol and Hydrochlorothiazide in people with Hypertension, run by InVasc Therapeutics, Inc. 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 5 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 5 May 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?

Changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after treatment with nebivolol and reaching normal blood pressure <140/90 (time frame: Every visit for 25 weeks (9 study visits)). 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 5 May 2011.
