A Dose Finding Trial for Angiotensin II in Hypertensive Adults on Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers With Anesthesia-Mediated Hypotension
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Angiotensin II for Hypertension. Completed, enrolled 32 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Hypotension in adult patients undergoing general anesthesia is common. This can lead to hypoperfusion of vital organs, organ damage, and states of increased metabolic duress. This may be worse in patients with underlying essential hypertension and worse in patients taking Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors (ACE) and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs). Intravenous (IV) administration of Ang II may be an effective treatment of hypotension in this patient population.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Participants in the ACE inhibitors, angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs), and Other Classes of Antihypertensive Agents who's systolic blood pressure (SBP) is less than 80% of the baseline reading is detected, will have Ang II initiated at 2 ng/kg/min through a peripheral IV. The infusion will be increased at the discretion of the clinical team based on the response of the patient until a SBP within 5% of the baseline SBP.
