About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Parallel-Group, Single-Blind Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Amicomed®, for the Management of Essential Hypertension

This is a multicenter, randomized, single-blind, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Amicomed® compared with Usual Care (UC) over a 24-week treatment period in subjects with essential hypertension (mean, home based systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 140 and/or diastolic blood pressure DBP ≥ 90 mm Hg on Day 1).

Read the detailed description

Amicomed is a Digital therapeutics service and program for BP management and reduction. The key features of Amicomed include:

  1. an automatic, expert system based, finite-machine AI algorithm for assessing the evolution of blood pressure levels,
  2. an automatic, expert system based, finite-machine AI algorithm for generating and delivering a detailed lifestyle program (dietary and physical activity) starting from the general lifestyle suggestions of the hypertension and cardiovascular prevention guidelines and producing a truly personalized program.
  3. a behavioral strategy embedded into the app to increase adherence and persistence into the program.

The Amicomed Digital Therapeutics Service and App for hypertension management and intervention has been shown to significantly improve BP levels in case-control studies .These initial results demonstrated a 5mmHg systolic BP reduction across all Amicomed subscribers and 7.9 mmHg systolic BP reduction in subject with >= stage 1 hypertension. Comparable reduction of diastolic BP was also achieved.

The aim of this study is to investigate the long-term efficacy of the Amicomed® Digital Therapeutics Program, compared to Usual Care, in reducing Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure in subjects with primary hypertension.

What participants receive

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

  • Amicomed®Device

    This app helps users track their blood pressure readings over time with analysis and history features. It generates graphs and charts to display trends and patterns, and users can set reminders to take blood pressure readings. Additionally, the app offers personalized recommendations for lifestyle, including personalized diet plans, and physical exercise programs based on the user's information. Using cognitive-behavioral techniques and motivational levers, the app helps users overcome barriers to lifestyle changes and provides personalized feedback and coaching. It also includes a database of evidence-based strategies for behavior change, and users can receive notifications, reminders, and rewards to stay motivated.

  • Digital PlaceboDevice

    Subjects will be provided with a white label mobile app, which allows to (1) add blood pressure measurements, (2) access the history of recorded measurements. No notification system will be implemented.

  • Usual CareOther

    Usual Care (UC): Subjects assigned to control group will receive care as usual care, including self-monitoring indications.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Home Blood Pressure Monitoring - Systolic Blood Pressure

    The primary endpoint is change from baseline to Week 12 in trough (approximately 7 days before the previous visit) Home BP SBP.

    Home BP is the average of all BP readings performed with a semiautomatic, validated BP monitor, for at least 3 days and preferably for 6-7 consecutive days before each clinic visit, with readings in the morning and the evening, taken in a quiet room after 5 min of rest, with the patient seated with their back and arm supported. Two measurements should be taken at each measurement session, performed 1-2 min apart.

    The primary endpoints will be collected using dedicated BP monitoring devices. Measurements taken for the purpose of efficacy assessment will not be reported to, nor shared or collected through the Investigational Device ID1.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 12

  2. Change in Home Blood Pressure Monitoring - Dyastolic Blood Pressure

    The primary endpoint is change from baseline to Week 12 in trough (approximately 7 days before the previous visit) Home BP SBP.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Amicomed® in people with Essential Hypertension and Primary Hypertension, run by Newel Health SRL.

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 4 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 23 Oct 2023. 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. 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.

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 Giovanni Gentile, MSc (+393282438545, giovanni.gentile@newel.health), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Home Blood Pressure Monitoring - Systolic Blood Pressure (time frame: Baseline to Week 12). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Oct 2023.
