losartan and Stroke

losartan has been researched along with Stroke in 117 studies

Losartan: An antagonist of ANGIOTENSIN TYPE 1 RECEPTOR with antihypertensive activity due to the reduced pressor effect of ANGIOTENSIN II.
losartan : A biphenylyltetrazole where a 1,1'-biphenyl group is attached at the 5-position and has an additional trisubstituted imidazol-1-ylmethyl group at the 4'-position

Stroke: A group of pathological conditions characterized by sudden, non-convulsive loss of neurological function due to BRAIN ISCHEMIA or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Stroke is classified by the type of tissue NECROSIS, such as the anatomic location, vasculature involved, etiology, age of the affected individual, and hemorrhagic vs. non-hemorrhagic nature.

Trial Outcomes

Feasibility as Measured by the Number of Patients That Accept Enrollment, Remain Adherent to Losartan, and Remain Adherent to Study Procedures.

"Outcome 1a. Document the rate of acceptance (quantitative) and reasons for acceptance/rejection (qualitative) in a randomized trial of trial of losartan for SCD patients with abnormal nocturnal blood pressures.~Outcome 1b. Identify the adherence rate to losartan during a randomized three year trial of losartan for SCD patients (n=40) with abnormal nocturnal blood pressure.~Outcome 1c. Determine the adherence rate to study procedures among participants enrolled in a three year trial of losartan for SCD patients (n=40) with abnormal nocturnal blood pressure." (NCT02373241)

Feasibility as Measured by the Number of Patients With Improvement in Nocturnal Blood Pressure While Receiving Losartan.

As a feasibility trial, the effect of losartan on lowering nocturnal hypertension will be monitored to identify the difference in nocturnal BP improvement between the two treatment arms, and within group standard deviation of BP (NCT02373241)
Timeframe: 5 years

InterventionParticipants (Count of Participants)
Experimental Blood Pressure Management1

Number of Patients With Incident Hypertension

We will prospectively evaluate the incidence of hypertension (Clinic BP in pts >5yrs and ABPM in pts >10 yrs) and role of blood and urine biomarkers (pts >5ys) among participants with HbSS or SB0 thalassemia (expected cohort n=200) over 5 yrs. We identified 20 participants (34%) with incident hypertension but randomized one to the study. The study was terminated as the eGFR was determined not to be a reliable endpoint in pediatric sickle cell. (NCT02373241)
