Trial summary

In this study, investigators will compare chronotherapy to ABPM. Data collected will include hypertension drug therapy regimen prior to and during the study, timing of medication administration, and dose, along with the patient's office blood pressure values prior to study and one month after modification in therapy.

About this study

Official title: Management of Uncontrolled Hypertension: Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring and Subsequent Modification of Therapy or Shifting Anti-hypertensive Medication to Night-time Dosing

In this study, investigators will compare chronotherapy to ABPM. Data collected will include hypertension drug therapy regimen prior to and during the study, timing of medication administration, and dose, along with the patient's office blood pressure values prior to study and one month after modification in therapy. This will enable us to explore whether it is a practical endeavor to implement ABPM as a routine process for all uncontrolled hypertension patients or whether ABPM does not seem to provide considerable value over shifting the timing of drug administration.

Read the detailed description

Investigators propose to conduct a pilot study to determine whether the incorporation of Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) as routine procedure in clinic for uncontrolled hypertension influences how anti-hypertensive drug therapy is modified or if simply shifting the dosing of anti-hypertensive medications to night time achieves similar results. Investigators will enroll 20 participants with uncontrolled hypertension, who are prescribed 3 anti-hypertensive medications at maximum dose. All twenty patients will undergo 24-hour blood pressure monitoring with ABPM at baseline and one month after change in therapy has been initiated; ten of the patients will be randomized to receive a shift in dosing schedule of anti-hypertensive medication to night-time without utilizing their ABPM results while the remaining ten will receive modifications in therapy based on their ABPM results and dipping status. The results of this study will assist in assessing the feasibility and benefits of the incorporation of ABPM into the routine management of hypertension.

What participants receive

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

  • Ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM)Device

    ABPM allows providers to obtain blood pressure readings over a 24 hour period, to assess blood pressure at night to determine "dipping" status, and to evaluate the efficacy of anti-hypertensive therapy.

  • ChronotherapyOther

    Chronotherapy group will receive a shift in the timing of one of their antihypertensive medications to nighttime dosing without consulting their ABPM results.

Study groups in NCT02922023
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ChronotherapyActive comparatorChronotherapy group automatically receives a shift in 1 anti-hypertensive medication to night-time without assessment of ambulatory blood pressure monitor results.
Receives: Other: Chronotherapy
ABPMActive comparatorABPM group will have their ambulatory blood pressure monitor results reviewed prior to deciding to change regimen.
Receives: Device: Ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM)

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in Blood Pressure

    changes in blood pressure from baseline vs after 1 month of change in drug therapy for each patient. Measured by T-test

    Measured: Changes between Baseline and 1 month

  2. Amount of Subjects From Each Group That Achieved Blood Pressure Goal

    Measured using Chi-square test or Fisher's Exact Test

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) and Chronotherapy in people with Hypertension, run by University of Florida at 1 site in United States.

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 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Dec 2022. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Dec 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Changes in Blood Pressure (time frame: Changes between Baseline and 1 month). The study lists 2 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 2 Dec 2022.
