About this study

Official title: An Epidemiological Study to Evaluate Standard Daily Practice in Managing Patients With Arterial Hypertension

This study is an epidemiological non-interventional trial that aims to evaluate standard daily practice in managing patients with arterial hypertension. The trial only records real-life clinical practice with no additional diagnostic or monitoring procedures.

The study is purposed to collect the following Egypt-specific epidemiology data on hypertension: demographic data, patients' characteristics, and patients' management/treatment in order to reach its rationale.

Read the detailed description

This study is aimed to evaluate response rate of the antihypertensive treatment with Thiazide Diuretics, calcium antagonist, Angiotensin Converting enzyme Inhibitor, Angiotensin II receptor blocker, and Beta Blocker in real life practice, and to collect the following Egypt-specific epidemiology data on hypertensive patients: demographic data, patents characteristics, and patients' management/treatment.

Approximately 300 sites will be participating (1 investigator per site; 300 investigators). Patients that are to be enrolled will either be newly diagnosed with hypertension, or on current antihypertensive treatment, compiling a total of 3000 patients (21 years, or older). The study will be conducted in two sequential phases; the first phase will include 150 sites from Cairo, Giza and Alexandria aiming to reach 1500 patients followed by a second phase which will include 150 sites from Delta and Upper Egypt aiming to reach 1500 patients. Epidemiological data collection will take place at a single visit and Laboratory Investigations will be requested in the first visit. Patients will be followed for 3 visits with the investigator. The investigator will complete a Patient Record Form (PRF) with the patient's data: demographics, history, current antihypertensive drug treatment/treatment changes, results of physical examination, blood pressure (SBP/DBP), heart rate.

What is being measured

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

  1. To insert number of hypertensive patients with SBP that are reaching treatment goals

    To insert number of patients with Systolic Blood pressure reaching treatment goals according to the ESC 2013 criteria (Systolic blood pressure <140 mmHg* in patients) after being treated with anti-hypertensive medication/s for at least 3 months.

    Measured: 12 weeks +- 2

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Insert number of patients on antihypertensive pharmacological treatment reaching the DBP goals

    Inserting number of SBP patients on antihypertensive treatment reaching the DBP goals according to the Europian Society of Cardiology (ESC) 2013 guidelines.

    Measured: 12 +- 2 weeks

  2. Insert number of patients on antihypertensive pharmacological treatment reaching SBP goals

    Inserting number of patients on antihypertensive treatment reaching combined SBP \&DBP treatment goals according to Europian Society of Cardiology (ESC) 2013 guidelines.

    Measured: 12 +- 2 weeks

  3. Insert epidemiological information on antihypertensive patients in study

    • Documenting epidemiological data from the Hypertensive patients during the visit via the investigator asking them and documenting it (Age)
    • Documenting any associated major cardiovascular co-morbid diseases by the investigator asking the patient or checking patient history then writing it down in Case Report Form (CRF).

    Measured: 12 +- 2 weeks

  4. Insert treatment & managing plan of antihypertensive pharmacological treatment

    • Investigator is to document the treatment/management with any changes in it chosen for the patient.
    • to document tolerability via questionnaire.

    Measured: 12 +- 2 weeks

  5. Insert number of patients on antihypertensive pharmacological treatment reaching DBP goals

    Inserting number of patients on antihypertensive treatment reaching combined SBP \&DBP treatment goals according to Europian Society of Cardiology (ESC) 2013 guidelines

    Measured: 12+- 2 weeks

  6. Insert epidemiological information on antihypertensive patients in study

    • Documenting epidemiological data from the Hypertensive patients during the visit via the investigator asking them and documenting it (Weight)
    • Documenting any associated major cardiovascular co-morbid diseases by the investigator asking the patient or checking patient history then writing it down in Case Report Form (CRF).

    Measured: 12 +- 2 weeks

  7. Insert epidemiological information on antihypertensive patients in study

    • Documenting epidemiological data from the Hypertensive patients during the visit via the investigator asking them and documenting it (gender)
    • Documenting any associated major cardiovascular co-morbid diseases by the investigator asking the patient or checking patient history then writing it down in Case Report Form (CRF).

    Measured: 12 +- 2 weeks

  8. Insert treatment & managing plan of antihypertensive pharmacological treatment

    • Investigator is to document the treatment/management with any changes in it chosen for the patient.
    • to document stability of the patient in the Case report form (CRF).

    Measured: 12 +- 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Different Classes of the Antihypertensive Treatment, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in Egypt.

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

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Nov 2019. 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 Egypt. 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?

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?

To insert number of hypertensive patients with SBP that are reaching treatment goals (time frame: 12 weeks +- 2). 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 7 Nov 2019.
