About this study

Official title: Southern Danish Hypertension and Diabetes Study (SDHDS) With Amiloride

To evaluate the antihypertensive effect of amiloride added to triple antihypertensive therapy in patients with resistant hypertension (RH) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the antihypertensive effect of amiloride added to triple antihypertensive treatment in patients with resistant hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus in an open-labelled, non- controlled and non-randomized interventional study.

The secondary objectives were to evaluate the additional effects of amiloride on:

  • Urinary albumin excretion
  • Blood pressure control, how many patients reached blood pressure control when amiloride was added to previous triple antihypertensive treatment.
  • Plasminogen and plasmin excretion (ENaC activity) in the micro-and macroalbuminuric patients in the cohort.
  • Urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) activity
Being tested
Amiloride
Keywords
antihypertensive therapy, amiloride, add-on, resistant hypertension, blood pressure control, type 2 diabetes mellitus,, microalbuminuria.
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • AmilorideDrug

    5 mg(daily of amiloride was added to patients triple antihypertensive therapy and increased to 10 mg/daily if office blood pressure at 4 weeks was above 130/80 mmHg.

What is being measured

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

  1. average daytime systolic and diastolic blood pressure

    ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was performed at baseline and after 8 weeks intervention with amiloride

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Urinary albumin excretion

    Urine albumin was measured at baseline and after 8 weeks of amiloride treatment.

    Measured: after 8 weeks

  2. plasma potassium

    plasma potassium tend to increase during amiloride treatment

    Measured: after 4 and 8 weeks

  3. urinary urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) activity

    uPA exist in urine where it cleaves plasminogen to plasmin. uPA is possible secreted fra the tubulus cells

    Measured: At baseline and after 8 weeks of amiloride treatment

  4. urine plasminogen and plasmin

    U-plasminogen is filtered to urine in patients with microalbuminuria. In urine plasminogen is activated to plasmin by urokinase plasminogen activator.Plasmin activates the epithelial sodium channel.

    Measured: at baseline and after 8 weeks of amiloride treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Amiloride in people with Hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Ib Abildgaard Jacobsen at 4 sites in Denmark.

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 3 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 24 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Denmark. 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 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?

average daytime systolic and diastolic blood pressure (time frame: 8 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 NCT02122731, 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 24 Apr 2014.
