About this study

Official title: Pre-operative Antihypertensive Drugs and Persistent Hypotension in Carotid Artery Stenting Comorbid With Hypertension Patients --- a Multicenter, Randomized, Open Label, Blinded Ended Point Clinic Trail

Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is one of major treatments in prevention of ischemic stroke. Because of sinus reflex due to stenting and balloon dilatation, persistent post-surgery hypotension is a common perioperative event. Persistent hypotension can lead to perioperative adverse events like ischemic stroke, myocardial infraction, renal failure and death; or more usually, it prolongs length of stay and hospital expenses. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone inhibitor (RASI) could inhibit the release of catecholamine and may lead to higher rate of persistent hypotension after CAS compared to other hypertensives.Thus, the investigators aim to investigate the effect of pre-operation antihypertensive drugs on persistent hypotension after stenting, and followed burden in carotid artery stenting comorbid with hypertension patients.

What participants receive

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

  • administering RASI (the trade name or universal name will not be stipulated) before stentingDrug

    Pre-operative antihypertensive drugs before stenting will be random assigned (RASI or CCB) at least 5 days before stenting. Patients in RASI group will receive RASI (all kinds of RASI will be permited and the trade name or universal name of drugs will not be limited), with or without other antihypertensives except for CCB (any kind of CCB).

    Blood pressure of patients should be controlled within the target range (140/90 mmHg); and usage and dosage of antihypertensive drugs will not be stipulated. Grapefruit intaking should be avoid.

  • administering CCB (the trade name or universal name will not be stipulated) before stentingDrug

    Pre-operative antihypertensive drugs before stenting will be random assigned (RASI or CCB) at least 5 days before stenting. Patients in CCB group will receive CCB (all kinds of CCB will be permited and the trade name or universal name of drugs will not be limited), with or without other antihypertensives except for RASI (any kind of RASI).

    Blood pressure of patients should be controlled within the target range (140/90 mmHg); and usage and dosage of antihypertensive drugs will not be stipulated. Grapefruit intaking should be avoid.

What is being measured

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

  1. The incidence of persistent post-surgery hypotension

    systolic blood pressure (SBP) < 90 mmHg or requiring vasopressor with lasting > 6 hours, and without evidence hypovolemia and heart failure

    Measured: the first 24 hours after CAS

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Length of stay after surgery

    Measured: From surgery to dicharge, up to 3 month.

  2. Hospital expenses after surgery, based on payment list in hospital information system

    Payment list in hospital information system for all patients will be recorded with permission and the hospital expenses after surgery will be caculated based on those records.

    Measured: From surgery to dicharge, up to 3 month.

  3. Difference of serum catecholamine (adrenalin, norepinephrine and dopamine) before and after surgery (all in unit of nmol/L)

    Measured: at morning (7 o'clock am) of the day of surgery and the first day after surgery

  4. Difference of heart rate variability (HRV) before and after surgery

    Measured: 24 hours before surgery to at least 24 hours after surgery

  5. The incidence of bradycardia after surgery

    Measured: the first 24 hours after CAS

  6. The total incidence of stroke, myocardial infraction, renal failure and embolism of retinal arteries

    Measured: From surgery to dicharge, up to 3 month.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing administering RASI (the trade name or universal name will not be stipulated) before stenting and administering CCB (the trade name or universal name will not be stipulated) before stenting in people with Carotid Stenosis, run by West China Hospital at 1 site 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jun 2023. 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 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 Bo Wu, Dr (+8618980602142, dr.bowu@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The incidence of persistent post-surgery hypotension (time frame: the first 24 hours after CAS). 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 15 Jun 2023.
