Show all 15Show fewer
  • Any severe, decompensated or unstable diseases or conditions which, on the investigator's opinion, endanger patient's life or aggravate disease prognosis (decompensated heart failure, anemia, severe diabetes mellitus, autoimmune, oncological diseases, hepatic, allergic reactions, connective tissue diseases, etc.)
  • Acute infectious diseases.
  • Hypersensitivity to components of Britomar or Diuver
  • Pregnancy, lactation period.

  • Scheduled coronary artery surgery (for example, stent implantation or coronary artery bypass grafting) or any other non-cardiological major surgery.
  • 13. Administration of drugs which affect natriuresis level (any diuretics which are not related with the study product). Patients are excluded from the study if they have taken the drugs for the last 48 years up to Visit D -10, in the screening period and/or treatment period/follow-up period of the study.
  • Use of narcotic drugs or alcohol abuse for the last 6 months and inability/unwillingness to refrain from narcotic drugs and excessive alcohol intake in the study period. The excessive alcohol intake is average alcohol >2 units of alcohol. A unit of alcohol for various beverages is 12 ounce (350 ml) of beer, 5 ounce (150 ml) of wine or 1.5 ounce (45 ml) of 80% alcohol.
  • Any other reason which would hinder patients' compliance with study requirements or their understanding of the study aim and potential risks of participation in study.

  • Torasemide (Diuver)Drug

Study groups in NCT02087332
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Prolonged release Torasemide (Britomar)ExperimentalProlonged release Torasemide (Britomar) - round, biconvex, white to off-white tablets debossed SN with one side. 1 tablet contains active substance - torasemide 5 or 10 mg and excipients - guar gum, maize starch, anhydrous colloidal silica, magnesium stearate, lactose. Dosage scheme: per os, once a day, regardless of meals. The common starting dose in CHF - 10-20 mg once a day. If adequate diuretic effect is absent, the dose is increased approximately twofold up to adequate diuretic effect.
Receives: Drug: Prolonged release Torasemide (Britomar)
Torasemide (Diuver)Active comparatorTorasemide (Diuver) - white to off-white, round, biconvex tablets. 1 tablet contain active substance - torasemide 5 or 10 mg and excipients - lactose monohydrate, maize starch, sodium glycolate starch, anhydrous colloidal silica, magnesium stearate. Dosage scheme: per os, once a day, after meals. Therapeutic dose - 5 mg a day. If necessary, a dose may be increased up to 20 mg a day, in some cases - up to 40 mg.
Receives: Drug: Torasemide (Diuver)

What is being measured

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

  1. Inflammatory markers excretion

    15% or more increasing of the following Tamm-Horsfall protein, beta-2-microglobulin, osteoponin, TGF- β1 excretion in comperison with baseline level

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Daily sodium excretion

    Increasing of daily sodium excretion on 30% or more in comparison with baseline

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Augmentation index

    Decreasing of augmentation index on 30 or more percents in comparison with baseline level

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Albuminuria

    Appearance of albuminuria of any stage or increasing of albuminuria level in case of existing albuminuria at the baseline. (measured by dipstick)

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Prolonged release Torasemide (Britomar) and Torasemide (Diuver) in people with Arterial Hypertension and Chronic Heart Failure, run by Society of Specialists in Heart Failure.

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 15 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 20 Mar 2014. 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.

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 Grigory P Arutyunov, Prof (007(495)952-73-77, arut@ossn.ru), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Inflammatory markers excretion (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 20 Mar 2014.
