About this study

Official title: Angiotensin Blocking Effect of Fimasartan on Hypertensive Cardiac Disease With Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Estimated by ECG: a Prospective, Multicenter, Observational Registry

Assess the efficacy of fimasartan on left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive patients

Read the detailed description

Patients who were diagnosed with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) by ECG at the start of the study are followed up at 3-month intervals for 1 year.

Increase Fimasartan if blood pressure is not controlled.

Being tested
Fimasartan
Medical subject headings
Hypertrophy, Left Ventricular, Hypertension

What participants receive

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

  • FimasartanDrug

    Fimasartan is a non-peptide angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARB) used for the treatment of hypertension and heart failure.

What is being measured

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

  1. The change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, left ventricular hypertrophy in ECG (composite).

    Measurements of changes in baseline at 12 months (change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, left ventricular hypertrophy in ECG)

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Hypertension, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital.

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 5 inclusion and 12 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 17 Jul 2017. 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?

The change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, left ventricular hypertrophy in ECG (composite). (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT03219632, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 17 Jul 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
