Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of VI-0521 on Ambulatory Blood Pressure (ABPM) in Overweight or Obese Subjects (NCT NCT05215418)

NCT ID: NCT05215418

Last Updated: 2024-07-17

Results Overview

The change between systolic blood pressure measured at Week 8 relative to the baseline measurements from the ABPM data read out. Blood pressure and heart rate were measured every 20 minutes from 6:00 to 22:00 hours, and every 30 minutes from 22:01 to 5:59 hours for 24 consecutive hours, while subjects continue normal routine activities.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 8

Population: Subjects who completed the study per protocol. Per Protocol Population (PPP) was defined as: 1. Randomized and received at least one dose of study drug; 2. ≥ 80% treatment compliance; 3. Last daily dose of study drug administered on the same date that ABPM was initiated at Week 8/End of Study or early termination (EOS); 4. ≥ 23.5 hours of ABPM data at baseline and at Week 8/EOS or early termination, and ≥ 75% ABPM readings; 5. No major protocol deviation that impacted ABPM readings.

The change between systolic blood pressure measured at Week 8 relative to the baseline measurements from the ABPM data read out. Blood pressure and heart rate were measured every 20 minutes from 6:00 to 22:00 hours, and every 30 minutes from 22:01 to 5:59 hours for 24 consecutive hours, while subjects continue normal routine activities.

No major protocol deviation that impacted ABPM readings.

The change between systolic and diastolic blood pressure measured in the clinic at Week 8 relative to the baseline measurements after subjects are seated comfortably for at least 10 minutes prior to taking blood pressure. In clinic blood pressure for determining hypertension was the average of three successive blood pressure readings, collected at least 2 minutes apart. The mean of the three values was be recorded as the subject's blood pressure.
