Do you suffer from Cardiovascular Disease and Hypertension?
Would you like to take part?
As a volunteer in a research study, you’ll receive study-related medical care from the study doctor and regular follow-up of your health to monitor the effectiveness of the care you’ll receive. The results of this research will be used to find out if the investigational medication being studied will be of benefit to others struggling with medication resistant hypertension, and whether it will be made widely available to all Canadians who struggle with this condition. Study volunteers are an important part of moving medical care forward.
Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person’s general health condition or prior treatments.
You may qualify to participate in this study if you:
- Have a history of cardiovascular disease
- Are on stable therapy with 2 to 4 classes of antihypertensive medications
You may not qualify to participate if you:
- Suffer from secondary hypertension
- Suffer from orthostatic hypertension
There are other eligibility requirements that the study doctor will review. Only the study doctor can finally determine whether you are eligible to participate in the study or not.
