About this study

Official title: Comparison Between ARB and ARB Plus CCB on Incidence of Renal and Cardiovascular Events in Hypertensive ADPKD Patients

This study examines the safety and efficacy of calcium channel blocker (CCB) in the treatment of hypertension of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) patients. Angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) was shown to have kidney protecting effects in patients with renal diseases including ADPKD, glomerulonephritis and diabetic nephropathy. In case whose blood pressure is not normalized by ARB alone, CCB is selected additionally. Recent research suggests genetic calcium channel disorder is responsible for the progression of ADPKD. It is not examined clinically if CCB treatment has any harmful effect to patients with ADPKD. This study examines the safety of Cilnidipine (CCB) in the ADPKD patients whose blood pressure is not controlled under 130/85 mmHg by Candesartan (ARB) alone.

Study groups in NCT00541853
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
AActive comparatorADPKD patients with blood pressure above 130/85 are enrolled. The patients whose blood pressure is controlled under 130/85 by Candesartan alone are classified into group A.
Receives: Drug: Candesartan
BExperimentalThe patients whose blood pressure is not controlled under 130/85 with ARB alone are randomized into group B or C. In group B, blood pressure is controlled by Candesartan plus Cilnidipine. If blood pressure is not lowered by Candesartan plus Cilnidipine alone, another antihypertensive agents except CCB and ACEI are allowable.
Receives: Drug: Candesartan and Cilnidipine
CActive comparatorThe patients whose blood pressure is not controlled under 130/85 with ARB alone are randomized into group B or C. In group C, blood pressure is controlled by Candesartan plus non-CCB agents such as beta- or alpha- adrenergic blockers or another ARB. Any CCB and ACEI are not allowable.
Receives: Drug: Candesartan plus non-CCB agents

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Candesartan, Candesartan and Cilnidipine and Candesartan plus non-CCB agents in people with Kidney, Polycystic, Autosomal Dominant, run by Kyorin University at 6 sites in Japan.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Oct 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Japan. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Eiji Higashihara, M.D. (+81-422-47-5511 ext. 5813, ehigashi@kyorin-u.ac.jp), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Kidney Volume measured by MRI. (time frame: Every 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 NCT00541853, which also lists 2 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 18 Oct 2007.
