About this study

Official title: PHARMACOGENOMIC EVALUATION OF ANTIHYPERTENSIVE RESPONSES IN INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM (IPS) CELLS STUDY (PEAR-IPSC) (PEAR-iPSC)

Patients enrolled in this study will have completed one of the parent studies "Pharmacogenomic Evaluation of Antihypertensive Responses" (PEAR-1 or PEAR-2) evaluating how well their blood pressure was controlled by medication. Patients in the current study will provide a single tube of blood which will be used to create adult stem cells that can be converted into other cell types, like heart or vasculature. Patients will not be asked to return for any follow up visits.

Read the detailed description

If the patient decide to participate in this study, they will have 1 visit for the study that will include a blood draw. Upon arrival to the clinic, the study will be explained to the patient in detail. The patient will be asked at that time to sign this consent form. The patient will have the opportunity to ask questions and the research staff will answer those questions. If the patient decides to participate in this study and sign a consent form, then a blood sample will be collected from a vein in the arm. A total of 2 teaspoons full of blood will be drawn for the study.

During this visit, in addition to collecting a blood sample, patients will be asked about their medical history and medications they are currently taking, and will have their vital signs assessed, including blood pressure, pulse, and temperature.

Blood will be drawn by a trained nurse or a phlebotomist at a family medicine clinic in Gainesville, Florida. The blood sample will be further processed in laboratories at the University of Florida, for the establishment of iPS cells. iPS cells will retain the patient's genetic makeup which makes them useful for research. Several experiments will be conducted on these cells that will provide data that can be used to learn more about how genetic markers can lead to differences in blood pressure response to medicines. These cells will be used for up to 8 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cellular gene expression, cellular protein expression, and site directed mutagenesis of induced pluripotent stem cells in response to antihypertensive drugs.

    iPSC cells will be used to model the mechanisms by which genetic differences influence responses to antihypertensive drugs. Potential methods included cellular gene expression, cellular protein expression, and site directed mutagenesis.

    Measured: 8 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypertension, run by University of Florida 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 2 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 31 May 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.

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?

Cellular gene expression, cellular protein expression, and site directed mutagenesis of induced pluripotent stem cells in response to antihypertensive drugs. (time frame: 8 years). 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 31 May 2018.
