What is being measured

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

  1. The change from baseline in carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV)

    Measured: Up to 1 year of double-blind treatment

  2. The change from baseline in carotid-femoral PWV, after adjustment for change from baseline in mean blood pressure (MBP)as measured at the same visit

    Measured: Up to 1 year of double-blind treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. On blood pressure (BP) lowering, assessed by conventional BP measurement and 24h ambulatory BP measurement (24h-ABPM)

    Measured: Up to 1 year of double-blind treatment

  2. On central pulse pressure (PP) and augmentation index (AI)

    Measured: Up to 1 year of double-blind treatment

  3. On common carotid stiffness, intima-media thickness (IMT), and internal diameter

    Measured: Up to 1 year of double-blind treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing olmesartan medoxomil in people with Metabolic Syndrome and Hypertension, run by Daiichi Sankyo Europe, GmbH, a Daiichi Sankyo Company at 3 sites in 3 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 8 inclusion and 5 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 24 Dec 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Belgium, Germany, Italy. 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 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?

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?

The change from baseline in carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) (time frame: Up to 1 year of double-blind treatment). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00676845, 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 24 Dec 2018.
