About this study

Official title: The Efficacy and Safety of Cleviprex in Ventriculostomy Patients Requiring IV Antihypertensive Therapy Investigator Initiated Trial

This study is a single-arm, open label protocol evaluating the use of Cleviprex to rapidly control hypertension in patients who present with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) or subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and that require ICP monitoring via ventriculostomy (External Ventricular Drain or EVD).

Read the detailed description

Inclusion Criteria:

The study population will be comprised of men and non-pregnant women age 18 years or older presenting with ICH or SAH that require ICP monitoring via ventriculostomy, and that require IV antihypertensive therapy to a) reduce the risk re-bleeding in SAH and b) reduce the risk of hematoma expansion over time due to further bleeding.

This study population will require rapid and sustained tight control of blood pressure between 110 to 140 mmHg.

Subjects may be included in the study if they meet all of the following criteria:

  1. Age 18 years or older
  2. Patient presentation with ICH or SAH, and that require ICP monitoring via ventriculostomy drain.
  3. Baseline systolic blood pressure (immediately prior to initiation of Cleviprex) >160 mmHg measured
  4. Requires IV antihypertensive therapy to achieve SBP 110 - 140 mmHg
  5. Patients with a life expectancy of > 5 hours.
  6. Written informed consent from the patient or their legal representative before initiation of any study specific procedures

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects will be excluded from the study if any of the following exclusion criteria apply prior to enrollment:

  1. Receipt of an oral antihypertensive within 2 hours prior to initiation of Cleviprex
  2. Receipt of IV nicardipine
  3. Glasgow coma score (GCS) of <5 and fixed dilated pupils
  4. Expectation that the patient will not tolerate or require > 5 hours of concurrent Cleviprex treatment and ICP monitoring
  5. Known or suspected aortic dissection
  6. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) on presentation
  7. Positive pregnancy test , known pregnancy or nursing mother
  8. Intolerance or allergy to calcium channel blockers
  9. Allergy to soybean oil or egg lecithin
  10. Known liver failure, cirrhosis or pancreatitis
  11. Defective lipid metabolism
  12. Severe aortic stenosis
  13. Prior directives against advanced life support
  14. Participation in other clinical research studies involving the evaluation of investigational drugs or devices within 30 days of enrollment

Patients excluded for any of the above reasons may be re-screened for participation at any time if the exclusion characteristic has changed.

What participants receive

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

  • Clevidipine butyrateDrug

    Also called Cleviprex

    Cleviprex will be administered according to current package insert instructions, with a starting dose of 2.0mg/hr for 1.5 minutes and thereafter titrated to lower blood pressure to a target goal of 110 mmHG to 140mmHG.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary endpoint of this trial is the time to achieve the pre-specified SBP target range (110-140) within 30 minutes of the initiation of Cleviprex infusion.

    Measured: 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The percentage of patients whose SBP is <90 mmHg within 30 minutes of the initiation of Cleviprex infusion

    Measured: 30 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Clevidipine butyrate in people with Hypertension and Intracranial Hemorrhage, run by Methodist Healthcare - Memphis 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 6 inclusion and 14 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 endpoint of this trial is the time to achieve the pre-specified SBP target range (110-140) within 30 minutes of the initiation of Cleviprex infusion. (time frame: 30 minutes). 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 NCT01042574, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 14 Aug 2019.
