CSP #2026 - Beta Blocker Dialyzability on Cardiovascular Outcomes

CSP #2026 - Beta Blocker Dialyzability on Cardiovascular Outcomes (BRAVO)


Sponsor

VA Office of Research and Development

Enrollment

2,540 participants

Start Date

May 22, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The investigators aim to determine, using a point-of-care randomized controlled trial design, if hemodialysis patients, who are randomized to metoprolol succinate (a dialyzable, beta-1 selective beta blocker), have an improved cardiovascular outcome compared to those randomized to carvedilol (a non-dialyzable, non-selective beta blocker with alpha-1 antagonist properties). The investigators will also examine intervention practices to identify components that best support engagement and sustainability.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This trial compares different types of beta-blocker heart medications to see which ones lead to better heart outcomes in veterans on hemodialysis (kidney dialysis). You may be eligible if... - You are currently on hemodialysis - You receive one of these beta-blockers through a VA pharmacy: metoprolol, atenolol, labetalol, carvedilol, or bisoprolol You may NOT be eligible if... - You have difficulty making decisions (impaired decision-making capacity) - You have a history of asthma and are not on carvedilol - You have a known allergy to either study drug - Your provider is unwilling to write a new medication order if you are randomized - There is no surrogate available to consent on your behalf if needed Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
