Trial summary

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), is one of the leading causes of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Despite the severity of this disease, no established treatments exist for this class of PH. Nebivolol is a drug used in high blood pressure and heart failure, but not used in patients with PH.

About this study

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), is one of the leading causes of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Despite the severity of this disease, no established treatments exist for this class of PH. Nebivolol is a drug used in high blood pressure and heart failure, but not used in patients with PH. Due to some additional properties it possesses, the investigators believe nebivolol will improve disease severity in patients with PH associated with HFpEF. The hypothesis of this research study is that nebivolol improves PH severity in patients with HFpEF, as measured by hemodynamic and clinical parameters.

Read the detailed description

This research study will be a prospective, open-label 18-week clinical study of nebivolol in patients with PH associated with HFpEF. Patients will be identified in clinic based on echocardiogram (TTE) and right heart catheterization (RHC) results (both part of standard clinical care) indicating PH and HFpEF.

What participants receive

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

  • NebivololDrug

    Nebivolol will be started at 2.5 mg by mouth daily if on a beta-blocker the dose will start at 5mg, and titrated up to 10 mg daily, as tolerated.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes in 6-minute Walk Distance

    Difference in 6-minute walk distance between baseline and 18 weeks.

    Measured: baseline - 18 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Nebivolol in people with Pulmonary Hypertension and Diastolic Heart Failure, 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 3 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 10 Feb 2022. 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 10 Feb 2022). 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?

Changes in Pulmonary Vascular Pressure (time frame: baseline - 18 weeks). 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 10 Feb 2022.
