Overview of Trial

This pilot study began after the last scheduled AASK Cohort study visit. Eligible participants were treated for 6 weeks on each of 3 antihypertensive regimens. The sequence of the regimens was random. Each period of the three periods had 2 visits, one visit at 3 weeks and one visit at 6 weeks. In the last week of each 6-week period, a 24-hour ABPM was obtained. The primary outcome variable was nocturnal BP; each pair wise difference between the regimens was calculated.

The study was conducted in participants in the African-American Study of Kidney Disease (AASK) Cohort study as a randomized three period cross-over trial. Eighty five percent of AASK cohort participants were on an ACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker; the most commonly used ACE inhibitor is ramipril. The strategies used in this pilot study remained ramipril-based, to maintain the overall blood pressure control achieved up until the start of the cohort study.

The antihypertensive regimens were as follows:

   * AM dosing of ramipril and other once daily medications in the participants antihypertensive regimen (termed USUAL)
   * Bedtime dosing of ramipril and other once a day medications in the participant's antihypertensive regimen (termed 
     HS-DOSING)
   * their current antihypertensive regimen plus an additional antihypertensive agent dosed at bed time; the choice of the
     additional agent will be tailored based on prespecified clinical guidelines (termed ADD-ON DOSING)

The "usual arm" served as the comparator arm. The "hs dosing" and "add-on dosing" arms tested practical strategies that could be tested in a subsequent clinical outcomes trial and that could be implemented in clinical practice. Investigators hypothesized that both arms would reduce nocturnal BP in comparison to "usual dosing". They further hypothesized that the "hs dosing" arm would raise daytime BP somewhat but have no net effect on 24 hour BP and that the "add on dosing" arm would have no effect on daytime BP but lower 24 hour BP.

Disease State(s) Studied (e.g. acute MI, breast cancer, etc.)

Hypertensive Renal Disease

Study Design (e.g. multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled)

Treatment, Randomized, Open Label, Active Control, Crossover Assignment, Efficacy Study

Study Arms and How They Were Treated (Intervention) (Explanation here)

Primary Pre-Specified Endpoint

Night time blood pressure (time frame: night time blood pressure from APBM at weeks 6, 12, and 18)

Secondary Endpoints

Blood pressure in the clinic daytime blood pressure (time frame: measured at weeks 6, 12, and 18)

Inclusion Criteria

  • Participant in the AASK Cohort Study
  • Ability and willingness to provide informed consent
  • Completion of a technically adequate ABPM at CO48 AASK cohort study visit.
  • Participants must have had at least 2 visits in the last 12 months of the Cohort Study (July 1 2006 to June 1 2007)
  • The average of last two BPs measured at least one week apart in the Cohort Study must be less than or equal to 140/90 mm Hg.

This would exclude a small percentage of the AASK cohort population; however, it would enroll a group of participants with stable BP who should not require adjustments to their antihypertensive medications during the course of this study.

  • Antihypertensive medications at baseline visit: This refers to the participant's antihypertensive regimen at the time of the baseline visit ; the transition period may be used to adjust the participant's antihypertensive regimen to meet these criteria, based on the clinical judgement of the site investigator.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Arm circumference greater than 50 cms.
  • ESRD requiring renal replacement therapy or kidney transplantation
  • Institutionalized participants
  • Shift workers working at night
  • MI or CVA within 3 months of AASK Cohort close out visit
  • Participants with known ejection fraction less than 40%
  • Females known to be pregnant or lactating
  • Participants likely to reach end stage renal disease within the next six weeks, in the judgement of the site investigator
