About this study

Official title: Transdermal Clonidine on Blood Pressure of Chronic Hemodialysis Patients: A Randomized Crossover Clinical Trial

The majority of chronic hemodialysis patients need a combination of several antihypertensive drugs for adequate BP control. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether transdermal clonidine can improve blood pressure control or decrease oral antihypertensive agents type or dosage and the secondary objective is to observe incidence of adverse reactions of transdermal clonidine in chronic hemodialysis patients.

Read the detailed description

It's a randomised crossover clinical trial. Subjects: chronic hemodialysis patients. All subjects will be randomised to 2 groups. Subjects in first group will receive 4 weeks transdermal clonidine plus regular antihypertensive agents treatments first, 2weeks wash-out then and 4 weeks antihypertensive agents without transdermal clonidine. The other group will receive 4 weeks antihypertensive agents without transdermal clonidine first, 2weeks wash-out then and 4 weeks transdermal clonidine plus regular antihypertensive agents treatments. Ambulatory blood pressure, echocardiography, and biochemistry will be detected.

What is being measured

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

  1. changes of blood pressure and oral antihypertensive agents' dosage and type

    mmHg of MAP decreased, changes of total antihypertensive agents' DDD and changes of total antihypertensive agents' types

    Measured: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. incidence of adverse effects compared with control group

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing transdermal clonidine in people with Renal Dialysis, run by Peking University People's Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 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 China. 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.

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Li ZUO, MD (+861088324008, zuolimd@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

changes of blood pressure and oral antihypertensive agents' dosage and type (time frame: 4 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 Sep 2015.
