The Effects of Renin Inhibition on Fibrinolytic Balance and Endothelial Function
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Aliskiren 150 mg, Placebo, and 2 other interventions for High Blood Pressure. Completed, enrolled 31 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Aliskiren (also called TekturnaTM) is a new drug for high blood pressure. Aliskiren works by blocking the actions of a substance called renin. Renin is a natural substance in the body that raises blood pressure. Renin is believed to contribute to the production of blood clots by increasing the amount of a substance known as Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor or PAI-1. This study will measure how aliskiren changes the amount of PAI-1 in the blood depending on the time of dosing. The purpose of this study is to find out if it is better to take aliskiren in the morning or at night.
