NCT00255502

Brief Summary

This was a 52-week, multicenter, open-label study to determine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of TOPROL-XL (metoprolol succinate) extended-release tablets (metoprolol CR/XL) in hypertensive pediatric subjects. The study population included school age children (age 6 to 12 years \< Tanner Stage 3) and adolescents (\> 12 years old or \> Tanner Stage 3 to 16 years old) of both genders. Because response to some therapies in adult hypertension appears to be different in black and non-black populations, the recruitment will have a mixture of black and non-black subjects. Pharmacokinetic measurements were performed on a subset of patients. Thirty subjects (15 subjects each in the 6 to 12 year age group and the 13 to 16 year age group) had a series of blood samples drawn. All subjects had a trough plasma level taken 24 hours after the last dose of open-label metoprolol CR/XL (Visit 18) with the exception of those subjects who completed Protocol 307B (16 week open-label treatment).

You may qualify if:

  • Male or female between the ages of 6 and 16 years inclusive at the time of screening.

  • Have hypertension that is either:
  • Have successfully completed Protocol 307A, or, or
  • Have dropped out of Protocol 307A or failed screening for Protocol 307A for sitting SBP/DBP greater than 20/10 mm Hg over the 95 th percentile using height adjusted charts for age and gender (see Appendices B through E inclusive), or
  • Have not enrolled in Protocol 307A but meet all screening criteria for Protocol 307B and are enrolled at sites that have already randomized 6 subjects into Protocol 307A.
  • Have the ability to swallow tablets.

You may not qualify if:

  • Have secondary hypertension due to coarctation of aorta, pheochromocytoma, hyperthyroidism or Cushing's syndrome.
  • Have a heart rate \< 55 beats per minute at Visit 1.
  • Have a history of asthma and/or recurring pulmonary disease or infections.
  • Have a history of cystic fibrosis.
  • Have a known hypersensitivity reaction to beta-blockers.
  • Have a known bleeding, coagulation or platelet disorder that can interfere with blood sampling.
  • Have a history of Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus.
  • Be in any situation or have any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator or sponsor, may interfere with participation in the study or produce a significant risk to the subject or interfere with the assessment of safety and efficacy endpoints.
  • Have received any investigational agent for any therapeutic reason within 30 days prior to receiving study medication.
  • Have a clinically significant cardiac valvular disease.
  • Have a diagnosis of heart failure.
  • Have clinically significant arrhythmia. This is defined as any arrhythmia requiring medical therapy or that causes symptoms.
  • Atrioventricular (AV) conduction disturbance, ie, second or third degree AV block.
  • Be unable or unwilling to comply with the study requirements.
