About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Platelet Effects of Chlorthalidone and Hydrochlorothiazide

This will be a randomized, double-blinded, three-period crossover study of platelet activation and aggregation in 30 non-smoking healthy volunteers comparing chlorthalidone (CTD), hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), and aspirin (ASA; active control). The study hypothesis is that CTD has different effects on platelet activation and aggregation than HCTZ.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in mean fluorescence intensity of PAC-1

    The primary endpoint for this study will be the change in mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of the platelet activation marker PAC-1 due to HCTZ, CTD, and aspirin.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in CD62P expression

    Change in platelet expression of CD62P (p-selectin) in response to CTD, HCTZ, and ASA.

    Measured: 2 weeks

  2. Change in platelet aggregation

    Change in platelet aggregation measured by flow cytometry in response to CTD, HCTZ, and ASA

    Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Chlorthalidone 12.5 mg, Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg and Aspirin 81 mg in people with Hypertension, run by Creighton University 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 5 inclusion and 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Dec 2015. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sandy Byers, RN (402-280-4961, sandrabyers@creighton.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in mean fluorescence intensity of PAC-1 (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 NCT02100462, 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 Dec 2015.
