    To Evaluate the Effect of Liraglutide on Ambulatory Blood Pressure-A Pilot Study

    NCT02299388

    Oct 2014 to Dec 2016

Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

The investigators are conducting this research to study the effect of Liraglutide on blood pressure. Several studies have shown increased cardiovascular complications and deaths in diabetics with hypertension. The importance of blood pressure control in diabetes has been shown in many clinical trials. No drug already approved for treating Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is known to reduce blood pressure along with improving diabetes. However, prior research studies with liraglutide have suggested that treatment with liraglutide improves blood pressure. This effect is seen very quickly and even prior to any weight loss. The mechanism behind this effect is yet to be determined.

Interventions

  • Liraglutide or PlaceboDrug

Arms2

  • Active comparator

    Liraglutide

    All subjects will be advised a low sodium diet. This will be a placebo controlled, double blind and randomized trial of effects of Liraglutide on systolic BP control. Eligible patients will have ABPM measurements and laboratory blood collection at baseline (prior to initiation of Liraglutide or Placebo), at 4 and 8 weeks of therapy. Patients will return 24 hours following ABPM placement for device and data retrieval. Each subject will be asked to keep a log of activities throughout the day.

  • Placebo comparator

    Placebo

    All subjects will be advised a low sodium diet. This will be a placebo controlled, double blind and randomized trial of effects of Liraglutide on systolic BP control. Eligible patients will have ABPM measurements and laboratory blood collection at baseline (prior to initiation of Liraglutide or Placebo), at 4 and 8 weeks of therapy. Patients will return 24 hours following ABPM placement for device and data retrieval. Each subject will be asked to keep a log of activities throughout the day.

Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Change in Systolic Blood Pressure as Measured by Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitors.

    Time frame · Baseline and 8 Weeks

    Registry description

    To determine whether Liraglutide lowers systolic BP through the day compared to placebo in patients with T2DM who are not on any anti-hypertensive medications or whose BP medications are unchanged over the study period of 8 weeks.

Secondary outcomes(1)
  1. Change in Pulse Pressure, Mean Arterial, Diastolic and Nocturnal Blood Pressures.

    Time frame · Baseline and 8 Weeks

    Registry description

    1. Change in mean arterial blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure from baseline to 8 weeks in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population. 2. Change in nocturnal BP: the absence of the nocturnal (between 23:00-06:00 hrs) decline in BP of \>/= 10% (defined as "non-dippers") and whether restoration occurs following Liraglutide therapy. 3. Change in pulse pressure: defined as the difference in systolic and diastolic BPs from baseline to week 8.
