About this study

Official title: Combination of OLMesartan and Calcium Channel Blocker or Low Dose Diuretics in High Risk Elderly Hypertensive Patients Study (COLM-Study)

The purpose of this study is to investigate which combination therapy is more effective in reducing the incidence of cardiovascular events in Japanese elderly high-risk hypertensive patients: AT1 subtype angiotensin II receptor antagonist/calcium channel blocker or AT1 subtype angiotensin II receptor antagonist/low dose diuretic.

Read the detailed description

Recently, antihypertensive combination therapies have been recommended by various guidelines because of their additive effects. Combination therapies of AT1 subtype angiotensin II receptor antagonist and calcium channel blocker or low dose diuretic have shown pharmacological benefit. However, reduction of cardiovascular events and safety profile of these combination therapies under same level of antihypertensive target have not been investigated yet.

In this study, primary objective is to compare two combination therapies when antihypertensive target is 140/90mmHg in elderly hypertensive patients with high cardiovascular risk.

Further study details as provided by COLM-Study data center

Primary Outcomes: A composite of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events: Sudden death (death of endogenous origin within 24 hours after acute onset); Cerebrovascular events (new occurrence or recurrence of a cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage or transient ischemic attack); Coronary events (new occurrence or recurrence of a myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization[PCI or CABG], hospitalization for angina pectoris, hospitalization for heart failure); Renal dysfunction (doubling of serum creatinine and creatinine ≥2.0 mg/dl, end stage renal disease) Secondary Outcomes: All deaths; Death from cardiovascular events; Effects on glucose metabolism(fasting plasma glucose, postprandial glucose, new onset of diabetes mellitus); Incidence of primary outcomes events; New occurrence of atrial fibrillation; Safety; Proportion of the subjects who withdrew from the allocated treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing olmesartan medoxomil / amlodipine or azelnidipine and olmesartan medoxomil / low dose thiazide type drug in people with Hypertension and Cardiovascular Disease, run by COLM Study Research Organization at 1 site in Japan.

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 15 inclusion and 11 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 23 Jan 2013. 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 Japan. 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?

Composite of following events: Sudden death, Cerebrovascular events, Coronary events, Renal dysfunction (time frame: 3 to 4.5 years (duration of planned treatment phase)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00454662, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 23 Jan 2013.
