Trial summary

This study to obtain pilot data on Nocturnal Hypertension and Nocturia. In Dr. Victor's current NIH grant (Cut Your Pressure Too: The LA Barbershop Blood Pressure Study) the results show that uncontrolled systolic hypertension is independent determinantal of nocturia in African American men.

About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study : Nocturnal Hypertension and Nocturia in African American Men

This study to obtain pilot data on Nocturnal Hypertension and Nocturia. In Dr. Victor's current NIH grant (Cut Your Pressure Too: The LA Barbershop Blood Pressure Study) the results show that uncontrolled systolic hypertension is independent determinantal of nocturia in African American men.

We now went to pursue this correlation by designing a new NIH grant Proposal to determine whether replacing short acting with long acting drugs and dosing them at bed time rather than in the morning will:

  1. Lower the systolic Blood pressure during sleep B. Improve Nocturia and results in better sleep quality. The results suggest that short acting hydrochlorothiazide may contribute to nocturia in some patients.

AIMS AND SIGNIFICANCE OF PILOT DATA

Determine:

  1. The feasibility of Southern California registry as an effective measure to recruit African American men to participate in a new research program.
  2. If men will comply with the study procedures including Actigraphy and ambulatory blood pressure monitors.
  3. The within subject coefficient of variation for repeated measures of nocturnal blood pressure by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, vertical activity at night by Actigraphy monitors.
  4. Whether the ambulatory Blood pressure itself affects the sleep pattern on Actigraphy.
  5. Nocturnal systolic blood pressure and nocturnal vertical activity are higher in men with self-reported nocturia ≥2 at night than in men with no reported nocturia.

Purpose:

Obtain key pilot data to show feasibility and document the reproducibility of the proposed measurements.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT03048734
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group (1): Men with Nocturia ≥2.Not described
Group (2): Men with no nocturia (0-1).Not described

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of events of Nocturia in relation to blood pressure.

    will evaluate the patients with how many times they go to the bathroom and assess the relation with their nocturnal blood pressure.

    Measured: 9 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypertension, run by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

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 6 inclusion and 8 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 14 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Number of events of Nocturia in relation to blood pressure. (time frame: 9 days). 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 14 Jan 2020.
