About this study

Official title: The Study Was Approved by the Ethics Committee of Our Institution, Which is Accredited by the Office of Human Research Protection as an Institutional Review Board

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent chronic sleep disorder that affects 3% to 7% in middle aged individuals and increases with age. OSA has been identified as the most common secondary cause associated with resistant hypertension. There is evidence that compared with older patients, the risk of hypertension in OSA patients may be particularly pronounced in younger adult ones (less than 50 years).

Traditionally, cardiovascular risk stratification in hypertensive patients was based on the average blood pressure (BP) measured in the clinic. Accumulated data has shown that target-organ damage is related not only to 24-h mean intra-arterial BP, but also to BP variability (BPV) in subjects with essential hypertension. Growing evidence demonstrated that BPV has considerable prognostic value for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular outcomes, independent of average BP. In addition, it has been found that hypoxia condition in pneumoconiosis patients was closely associated with exaggerated BPV in ambulatory BP. However, the selections of antihypertensive drugs remain yet not very clearly for hypertensive patients combined with OSA.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent chronic sleep disorder that affects 3% to 7% in middle aged individuals and increases with age. It is considered an important independent contributing factor for the development of hypertension, diabetes and heart rhythm disorders. The prevalence of arterial hypertension has been reported to reach 50% of patients with OSA. OSA has been identified as the most common secondary cause associated with resistant hypertension. There is evidence that compared with older patients, the risk of hypertension in OSA patients may be particularly pronounced in younger adult ones (less than 50 years).

What participants receive

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

  • AmlodipineDrug

    Amlodipine was given orally in a dose of 5mg/day to treat patients in the OSA-amlodipine group for 12 weeks.

  • metoprololDrug

    Metoprolol was given orally in a dose of 47.5mg/day to treat patients in the OSA-metoprolol group for 12 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Amlodipine and metoprolol in people with Sleep Apnea Syndrome and Hypertension, run by First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 15 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in China, Hungary. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 Yue Li, PHD (86-451-85555673, ly99ly@vip.163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

24-hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (time frame: up to 3 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 15 Feb 2017.
