Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of the Effect of Nebivolol to Evaluate Its Vasodilatory Effects in Hypertensive Patients (NCT NCT00648895)

NCT ID: NCT00648895

Last Updated: 2010-09-20

Results Overview

Pre-and post-ischemia forearm vascular resistance (FVR), calculated by forearm blood flow (FBF) and systolic blood pressure (SBP), and assessed at the trough/pre-meal time point (used for percentage change analysis between baseline and postbaseline). Measurements occured at baseline (visit 5) and end of treatment (week 10).

Measure
Nebivolol
A 6-week up-titration period (the dose of nebivolol was increased from 10 mg/d to a maximum of 40mg/d, if necessary, to achieve hypertension control) followed by a 4-week stable-dose period and a 2-week down-titration phase
Metoprolol ER (TM)
A 6-week up-titration period (the dose of metoprolol ER was increased from 100 mg/d to a maximum of 400mg/d, if necessary, to achieve hypertension control) followed by a 4-week stable-dose period and a 2-week down-titration phase.
