About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Dose-Ranging Study of the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of TAK-491 in Subjects With Mild to Moderate Uncomplicated Essential Hypertension

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of azilsartan medoxomil, once daily (QD), in individuals with hypertension.

Read the detailed description

Hypertension affects approximately 50 million individuals in the United States. As the population ages, the prevalence of hypertension will continue to increase if broad and effective preventive measures are not implemented. Data from the Framingham Heart study suggest that the lifetime risk of developing hypertension among 55- to 65-year-old individuals is greater than 90%. According to the World Health Organization, hypertension is the most common attributable cause of preventable death in developed nations, as uncontrolled hypertension greatly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and renal failure. Despite the availability of hypertension treatments, hypertension remains inadequately controlled; only about one third of patients continue to maintain control successfully. To help address these matters, the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure proposes a more aggressive intervention to hypertension management with more potent antihypertensive agents and combination therapy.

Takeda Global Research \& Development Center, Inc. is developing TAK-491 (azilsartan medoxomil) to treat mild to moderate essential hypertension. Azilsartan medoxomil is a prodrug that is rapidly hydrolyzed to the activity moiety, azilsartan, which is an angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist. This study is proposed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of multiple doses of azilsartan medoxomil at five dose levels in subjects with mild to moderate uncomplicated essential hypertension.

Individuals who want to participate in this study will be required to provide written informed consent. Study participation is anticipated to be about 11 weeks. Multiple procedures will occur at each visit which may include fasting, blood collection, urine collection, vital signs including sitting and standing blood pressure and pulse, body height and weight, physical examinations, electrocardiogram Outside of the study center, participants will be required to wear an ambulatory blood pressure monitoring device at approximately 24 and 36 hour intervals.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Azilsartan Medoxomil and Olmesartan in people with Hypertension, run by Takeda at 54 sites in 4 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 17 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 19 Apr 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 54 sites in United States, Mexico, Argentina, Peru. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Apr 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change From Baseline in Sitting Clinic Diastolic Blood Pressure. (time frame: Baseline and Week 8.). 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 19 Apr 2011.
