About this study

Official title: Renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) Peptide Profiles in Patients With Treatment-resistant Arterial Hypertension (TRHT-01 Study). An Observational Single Centre Study

This study evaluates RAS peptides profiles in patients with treatment resistant arterial hypertension.

Read the detailed description

Selective quantification of RAS peptides in human plasma triggered investigations evaluating whether RAS peptides could be used as clinical biomarkers in patients receiving antihypertensive treatment.

Drug-specific RAS profiles first characterized in healthy normotensive subjects (EKBB 255/12; ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT01771783) are presently investigated in patients with newly diagnosed arterial hypertension (EKNZ 2015-081; clinicaltrials.gov identifier (ID) NCT02449811). With this observational study RAS peptide profiles will be characterized in patients with treatment resistant hypertension. Data generated by this study will show whether RAS peptide profiles merit further evaluation as clinical biomarkers in this complex patient group.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypertension, run by University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2018. 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 Switzerland. 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?

RAS peptide concentrations in plasma (time frame: baseline, 4h after observed drug intake and steady-state sample). 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 28 Feb 2018.
