What participants receive

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

  • Protocol initiate with ABehavioural

    The BP-lowering medication adjustment and titration will follow A-AC-ACD or A-AD-ADC for individuals randomized to A or two-drug combination therapy with full dose of A in their initial medication assignment.

  • Protocol initiate with CBehavioural

    The BP-lowering medication adjustment and titration will follow C-CA-CAD or C-CD-CDA for individuals randomized to C or two-drug combination therapy with full dose of C in their initial medication assignment.

  • Protocol initiate with DBehavioural

    The BP-lowering medication adjustment and titration will follow D-DA-DAC or D-DC-DCA for individuals randomized to D or two-drug combination therapy with full dose of D in their initial medication assignment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Average change in BP from first visit after the decision support system is installed to 9-month among the individuals who initiated with A, C, and D (population 1) and among those who initiated with two-drug therapy with AC, AD or CD (population 2)

    Average change in BP from first visit after the decision support system is installed to 9-month among population 1 (SBP 140-159 mmHg, not currently taking any antihypertensive medications) who initiated with A, C, and D and among population 2 (SBP≥160 mmHg, taking 0-1 antihypertensive medications which is not B; or SBP 140-159mmHg, taking one antihypertensive medication which is not B) who initiated with two-drug therapy with AC, AD or CD, respectively.

    Measured: Baseline; 1 year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Proportion of individuals with BP<140/90 mmHg at 9 month.

    Proportion of individuals with BP<140/90 mmHg at 9 month among the individuals (population 1: SBP 140-159 mmHg, not currently taking any antihypertensive medications) who initiated with A, C, and D, among those (population 2: SBP≥160 mmHg, taking 0-1 antihypertensive medications which is not B; or SBP 140-159mmHg, taking one antihypertensive medication which is not B) who initiated with two-drug therapy with AC, AD or CD.

    Measured: Baseline; 1 year

  2. Proportion of individuals with BP<160/100 mmHg at 9 month.

    Proportion of individuals with BP<160/100 mmHg at 9 month among the individuals (population 1: SBP 140-159 mmHg, not currently taking any antihypertensive medications) who initiated with A, C, and D, among those (population 2: SBP≥160 mmHg, taking 0-1 antihypertensive medications which is not B; or SBP 140-159mmHg, taking one antihypertensive medication which is not B) who initiated with two-drug therapy with AC, AD or CD separately.

    Measured: Baseline; 1 year

  3. Proportion of individuals who received monotherapy, two-drug treatment, three-drug treatment, or referral at 9 month.

    Proportion of individuals who received monotherapy (only in populations 1), two-drug treatment, three-drug treatment, or referral at 9 month among the individuals (population 1: SBP 140-159 mmHg, not currently taking any antihypertensive medications) who initiated with A, C, and D, among those (population 2: SBP≥160 mmHg, taking 0-1 antihypertensive medications which is not B; or SBP 140-159mmHg, taking one antihypertensive medication which is not B) who initiated with two-drug therapy with AC, AD or CD.

    Measured: Baseline; 1 year

  4. Proportion of individuals intolerant to each of the four medications.

    Proportion of individuals intolerant to each of the four medications among the individuals (population 1: SBP 140-159 mmHg, not currently taking any antihypertensive medications) who initiated with A, C, and D, among those (population 2: SBP≥160 mmHg, taking 0-1 antihypertensive medications which is not B; or SBP 140-159mmHg, taking one antihypertensive medication which is not B) who initiated with two-drug therapy with AC, AD or CD.

    Measured: Baseline; 1 year

  5. Proportion of individuals who switched to usual care for any reason.

    Proportion of individuals who switched to usual care for any reason among the individuals (population 1: SBP 140-159 mmHg, not currently taking any antihypertensive medications) who initiated with A, C, and D, among those (population 2: SBP≥160 mmHg, taking 0-1 antihypertensive medications which is not B; or SBP 140-159mmHg, taking one antihypertensive medication which is not B) who initiated with two-drug therapy with AC, AD or CD.

    Measured: Baseline; 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Protocol initiate with A, Protocol initiate with C and Protocol initiate with D in people with Hypertension, run by China National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases at 3 sites 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 4 inclusion and 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Xin Zheng, MD, PhD (+86 60866813, xin.zheng@fwoxford.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Average change in BP from first visit after the decision support system is installed to 9-month among the individuals who initiated with A, C, and D (population 1) and among those who initiated with two-drug therapy with AC, AD or CD (population 2) (time frame: Baseline; 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 NCT03587103, 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?
