Trial summary

Control of blood pressure (BP) is the first thing to do in the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although guidelines suggest the optimal blood pressure level, it is hard to assess BP correctly during the office visit. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Ambulatory BP Monitoring on the CliniCal coUrse and RenAl ouTcomE of Chronic Kidney Disease

Control of blood pressure (BP) is the first thing to do in the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although guidelines suggest the optimal blood pressure level, it is hard to assess BP correctly during the office visit. Often there is a discrepancy between office BP and out-of-office BP, including home BP and ambulatory BP. Recent study reported that as many as 34% of Korean CKD patients had masked hypertension, which means high BP by ambulatory BP monitoring but normal BP by conventional office BP measurement.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of ambulatory BP-guided BP management on the clinical outcome of CKD, compared to the conventional management using office BP.

Read the detailed description

We hypothesized that management of blood pressure using ambulatory BP monitoring would obtain more optimal BP control and thereby would influence positively on renal progression and CV outcomes.

In detail, when the eligibility criteria is met, all the subjects will undergo both ambulatory BP and office BP measurement at baseline.

After randomization, ARB (fimasartan) will be administered to drug-naive subjects or will replace the other RAS blockers in subjects with current uses. Dosing of fimasartan will be adjusted or additional drugs of other classes will be added sequentially over 3 months (titration phase).

At 3 months, ABPM will be performed in ABPM group to evaluate the adequacy of blood pressure control and dosing will be adjusted according to the ABPM results (target BP: daytime BP < 135/85 mm Hg). This adjustment will be assessed at 6 months by ABPM once again.

For subjects in office BP group, conventional care will be provided according to current guidelines (target BP < 140/90 mm Hg).

At 18 months, ABPM will be performed in all the subjects and outcome measures will be assessed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in people with Chronic Kidney Diseases and Renal Insufficiency, Chronic, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 4 sites in South Korea.

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 10 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 5 Jun 2019. 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

rate of estimated GFR decline (time frame: 18 months). 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 NCT02417571, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 5 Jun 2019.
