About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open Label, Cross-over Comparative Study of Irbesartan/Hydrochlorothiazide and Irbesartan in the Treatment of Mild to Moderate Hypertension

Primary:

  1. To compare the change in forearm vascular resistance following a 12-week regimen of irbesartan/hydrochlorothiazide versus irbesartan
  2. To assess changes of serum proinflammatory cytokine, markers of cardiovascular risks, oxidative stress and circulating adhesion molecule including thiobarbiturate acid reactive substances (TBARS), C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1).

Secondary:

  1. To compare the reduction in office blood pressure following a 12-week regimen of irbesartan/hydrochlorothiazide versus irbesartan
  2. To compare the response rate (defined as office Systolic blood pressure(SBP)/diastolic blood pressure (DBP) reduce more than 10mmHg from baseline), and BP controlled rate (defined as SBP<140 mmHg and /or DBP<90 mmHg)
  3. To ascertain the safety and tolerability of irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide versus irbesartan when administered once daily
  4. To determine whether angiotensin II type 1 (AT-1) receptor gene polymorphisms (including A1166C gene with about 4% of the minor allele frequency in Chinese population and other single nucleotide polymorphisms with a higher frequency of about 10% of minor allele) is related to reduction of BP

What is being measured

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

  1. Forearm vascular resistance

    Measured: At baseline and end of study

  2. Changes of serum TBARS, CRP, IL-6, and VCAM-1

    Measured: Throughout the study period

  3. Office BP measurement of seated SBP and DBP

    Measured: At baseline and after 12-week treatment

  4. Adverse events

    Measured: Throughout the study period

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Office BP measurement of seated SBP and DBP

    Measured: At baseline and after 12-week treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Irbesartan/Hydrochlorothiazide and Irbesartan in people with Hypertension, run by Sanofi at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 1 inclusion and 9 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 1 Oct 2009. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Forearm vascular resistance (time frame: At baseline and end of study). The study lists 4 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 1 Oct 2009.
