About this study
Official title: An Open Label Trial of the Efficacy and Safety of Chronic Administration of the Fixed Dose Combination of Telmisartan 40mg + Amlodipine 10mg or Fixed Dose Combination of Telmisartan 80mg + Amlodipine 10mg Tablets Alone or in Combination With Other Antihypertensive Medications in Patients With Hypertension
The primary objective of this trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of the fixed dose combinations telmisartan 40mg/amlodipine 10mg (T40/A10) or telmisartan 80mg/amlodipine 10mg (T80/A10) during open-label treatment for at least six months.
An additional objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of concomitant administration of either T40/A10 or T80/A10 with any other therapies commonly used in the treatment of hypertension.
The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients achieving DBP control (defined as mean seated DBP < 90 mmHg at trough i.e. approximately 24 hours after last dose of study treatment) at six months of treatment or at last trough observation during the treatment period (i.e. last trough observation carried forward).

The primary objective of this trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of the fixed dose combinations telmisartan 40mg/amlodipine 10mg (T40/A10) or telmisartan 80mg/amlodipine 10mg (T80/A10) during open-label treatment for at least six months.
An additional objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of concomitant administration of either T40/A10 or T80/A10 with any other therapies commonly used in the treatment of hypertension.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing fixed-dose combination of telmisartan 40mg+amlodipine 10mg and fixed-dose combination of telmisartan 80mg+amlodipine10mg in people with Hypertension, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 92 sites in 12 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 1 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 20 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 92 sites in United Kingdom, Ukraine, Spain, Bulgaria, Russia and 7 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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 25 Mar 2010). 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?
Trough Seated Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) Control (time frame: End of study (34 weeks or last value on treatment)). 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 NCT00624052, 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 20 May 2014.
