About this study

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hypertension are two closely related common chronic diseases that have serious implications to human health. Hypertension is a major cause for progression of renal disease and a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Control of Blood Pressure (BP) to target is now considered to be the main goal in the treatment of patients with CKD.

In clinical practice, it is difficult for CKD patients with hypertension to achieve systolic BP (SBP) or diastolic BP (DBP) goal; oftentimes, calcium channel blocker (CCB) class of drugs, for example, nifedipine gastrointestinal therapeutic system (GITS), is used in such patients. Previous data have demonstrated nifedipine to be having a significant dose-response relationship; that is, nifedipine 60 mg provided better BP reduction than 30 mg. However, there are limited studies that have evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of nifedipine GITS 60 mg in Chinese CKD patients with hypertension. Hereby, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of nifedipine GITS 60 mg treatment in a large cohort of CKD patients with uncontrolled hypertension.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypertension, run by Bayer 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 7 inclusion and 2 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 9 Jul 2021. 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.

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?

Change in office systolic blood pressure from baseline to week 12 (time frame: At week 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03194633, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Jul 2021.
