Active Control
Group I: Intensive Blood Pressure managementExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants assigned to the intensive blood pressure management arm will be treated using approved antihypertensive medications to have systolic blood pressure readings under 140 mmHg for the first 48 hours after enrollment into the study.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What are the goals that researchers are hoping to achieve with this clinical trial?

"The primary goal of this research, which will be overseen until its conclusion (around 18 months), is to evaluate the number of participants that need their treatment allocation changed. Additionally, investigators will also look at secondary outcomes such as the number of patients with any intracranial hemorrhage (as identified on a follow-up CT scan) and the absolute difference in flow velocity measurements in transcranial Doppler examination. Lastly, researchers will compare the NIH Stroke Scale scores from day 2 to see if there is a significant difference."

Answered by AI

Are patients being recruited for this clinical trial at this time?

"Yes, that is correct. The clinical trial is currently looking for 30 individuals to enroll at 1 site. According to the information available on clinicaltrials.gov, the study was originally posted on 10/23/2020 and updated as recently as 3/21/2022."

What are some other studies that have used Enalapril as an active ingredient?

"Enalapril is being researched in 24 different ongoing clinical trials, 7 of which are Phase 3. The majority of these studies originate from Dayton, Ohio; however, there are 508 total locations for Enalapril clinical trials."

Answered by AI

For what ailments is Enalapril regularly prescribed?

"Enalapril is commonly used to manage hypertension, but can also be effective in treating other cardiovascular conditions such as chronic stable angina pectoris, symptomatic congestive heart failure, and hypertensive emergency."

Answered by AI

How many test subjects are in this clinical trial?

"That is correct. The clinicaltrials.gov website has information indicating that this trial is looking for enrollees. This research project was originally posted on October 23rd 2020 and updated most recently on March 21st 2022. There is a need for 30 individuals at a single site."

Answered by AI

Are there any harmful side effects to Enalapril?

"Enalapril's safety was given a score of 2 out of 3 by our Power team. This is because, although there is some data supporting Enalapril's safety, there is no evidence yet that it is an effective medication."
