About this study

Official title: Effect of Nifedipine GITS in Patients With Mild-to-moderate Primary Hypertension: a Multi-center, Open-label, Observational Study

This is a multi-center, open-label, observational study. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Nifedipine GITS on lowering blood pressure in Chinese adults with mild-to-moderate hypertension.

Read the detailed description

The primary aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of nifedipine gastrointestinal therapeutic system (GITS) on lowering blood pressure in Chinese adults with mild-to-moderate hypertension. The secondary aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Nifedipine GITS on lowering blood pressure in hypertensive patients with different urinary sodium levels. Based on sample size estimation, the plan is to recruit 700 patients from 16 centers. At baseline, patients'demographic characters, disease history and anthropometric indices will be collected, laboratory tests will be performed for blood routine examination, urinalysis, renal function, hepatic function, urinary sodium and 24-hour urinary sodium. All eligible patients will be assigned to a treatment of Nifedipine GITS and followed up for 8 weeks. At 0 day, 2,weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks of the study, seated blood pressure, vital signs, medication and adverse events were collected. At the end of the study, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) will be performed for all participants.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Nifedipine GITS in people with Hypertension, run by Peking University First 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 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 22 Mar 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 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Yang Yu, MD (8610-83575262, jiyou_2000@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Control rate of hypertension evaluated by office blood pressure at 8 weeks (time frame: 8 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 Mar 2019.
