Trial summary

To evaluate Blood Pressure (BP) reduction to the targeted values (BP ≤ 140/90 mm Hg in non-diabetic patients, and ≤ 130/80 mm Hg in diabetic patients). To emphasize and to evaluate the benefit of Irbesartan in the reduction of left ventricular mass index in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 30 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with proven mild to moderate Hypertension.
  • Patients must have left ventricular mass index > 130g/m2 in men, > 100g/m2 in women, as evidenced by echocardiography before inclusion.
  • Newly diagnosed "naïve" hypertensive patients (no prior treatment for hypertension). OR,
  • Patients who were receiving antihypertensive agents (maximum two agents including one diuretic) with blood pressure targets achieved, yet, in the investigator's opinion, those patients would benefit more from switching to the study medication. These patients will undergo a wash out period for not less than 7 days prior to enrollment.

Who cannot join

  • Severe hypertension (Systolic BP ≥ 180 mm Hg or Diastolic BP ≥ 110 mm Hg).
  • Patients with left ventricular ejection fraction < 45%.
  • Patients with severe left ventricular hypertrophy.
  • Patients with known secondary hypertension (for another cause other than type 2 Diabetes Mellitus).
  • Diabetic patients with HbA1c > 10%.
  • Significant chronic renal impairment (Serum creatinine > 2.0 mg/dL).
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Significant liver disease as shown by SGPT/SGOT (ALT/AST) > 2.5 times the upper limit of the normal range.
  • Currently pregnant or lactating females.
  • Women of childbearing potential not protected by effective contraceptive method of birth control and/or who are unwilling or unable to be tested for pregnancy.
  • Any patient who is in need for a combination antihypertensive therapy from the start (from the medical point of view of his/her physician).
  • Known hypersensitivity to irbesartan, other ARBs(Angiotensin Receptor Blockers), hydrochlorothiazide, or other thiazide diuretics.
  • Patients with malignancy during the past 5 years, known collagen disease or severe cardiac, cerebrovascular or gastric disease.
  • The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Irbesartan (Aprovel)Drug

    Aprovel (150 \& 300mg) \& CoAprovel (300/12.5mg hydrochlorothiazide one per day per os.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Reduction in BP to target values according to the ESC 2003 Hypertension Guidelines

    Measured: During the study conduct

  2. Reduction in left ventricular hypertrophy from baseline values to week 36.

    Measured: during the study conduct

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Occurrence of any side effect leading to treatment discontinuation.

    Measured: During all the study conduct

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Irbesartan (Aprovel) in people with Hypertension, run by Sanofi at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Reduction in BP to target values according to the ESC 2003 Hypertension Guidelines (time frame: During the study conduct). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 May 2011.
