About this study

Official title: INHibition of the Renin Angiotensin System in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and the Effect on Ventricular Hypertrophy - a Randomized Intervention Trial With Losartan.

Objective The objective of the study is to assess the structural and functional cardiac effects of treatment with losartan in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).

Design The study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded trial. The follow-up period is 12 months. 130 patients with HCM will be included in predefined subgroups. Genotype positive relatives with borderline hypertrophy (> 13 mm) will also be included. Data on individuals with borderline hypertrophy will be analysed separately from the rest of the cohort.

Primary outcome Ventricular hypertrophy assessed as left ventricular mass and maximal wall thickness.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Losartan in people with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, run by Henning Bundgaard at 1 site in Denmark.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 2014. 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 Denmark. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

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?

Hypertrophy of left ventricle (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT01447654, 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 9 Jul 2014.
