About this study

This study is a single center, non-randomized, open-label, pilot efficacy and safety study evaluating the ability of clevidipine IV antihypertensive to rapidly control elevated blood pressure (BP) in the setting of an acute aortic emergencies (aneurysm, dissection or other aortic disease).

Read the detailed description

This study will be a Phase IV, open label, non-randomized efficacy and safety pilot trial in patients with AAE and hypertension requiring parenteral antihypertensive therapy. For the purpose of this study hypertension is defined as SBP ≥120 mm Hg immediately prior to clevidipine administration.

Patients will be enrolled at the Methodist DeBakey Heart \& Vascular Center in Houston, TX. Enrollment of approximately 30 patients is anticipated and enrollment will continue until this goal is met.

The study will include three separate periods: Screening Period, Treatment Period (up to 48 hours) and Follow-up Period (up to 7 days or hospital discharge, whichever occurs first) representing approximately a maximum of 7 days on study. Eligible patients will be enrolled to receive clevidipine IV antihypertensive treatment (study drug) in an open label manner.

Clevidipine will be infused at an initial rate of 2 mg/h (4 mL/hr) for the first 3 minutes. Thereafter, titration to higher infusion rates can be attempted as needed to obtain the target SBP goal < 120 mmHg. Titration to effect is to proceed by doubling the dose every 3 minutes, up to a maximum of 32 mg/h (64 mL/hr), until the SBP < 120 mmHg is attained.

If the desired BP lowering effect is not attained with study drug within 1 hour or not maintained thereafter, an alternative antihypertensive agent may be used, with or without stopping clevidipine IV antihypertensive infusion. The alternative agent should be used per institutional treatment practice. During the initial 1 hour of the treatment period, however, clevidipine IV antihypertensive treatment should be administered as monotherapy until 1 hour post initiation of study drug. The use of an alternative antihypertensive agent(s) is discouraged and limited to where medically necessary to maintain patient safety.

Clevidipine IV antihypertensive infusion may continue for a maximum of 48 hours. However, if medically warranted, clevidipine treatment may continue beyond 48 hours at the investigator's discretion.

What participants receive

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

  • clevidipine.Drug

    Also called CLEVIPREX® (clevidipine)

    Clevidipine administered per IV infusion, starting dose of 2 mg/h (4 mL/hr) for 3 minutes \& titrated to the desired BP lowering effect to SBP goal of < 120 mmHg, max infusion rate may not exceed 32 mg/h (64 mL/hr).

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 9 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 27 Aug 2018. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Project lacked funding.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

The primary objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the efficacy of an IV infusion of clevidipine as an antihypertensive for BP lowering in patients with AAE and elevated BP. (time frame: 1 Hour). 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 NCT01033370, which also lists 10 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 27 Aug 2018.
