Who cannot join

  • Any situation, clinical condition (such as clinically significant declining renal function) or laboratory abnormality that, in the opinion of the investigator or sponsor, may interfere with the subject's participation in the study.
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <30 ml/min/1.73m2 for non-transplant patients and <40 ml/min/1.73m2 for transplant patients based on the Schwartz Formula (Schwartz et al 1987) as determined at enrollment into Study 328.
  • Impaired liver function defined as either acute liver disease or chronic liver disease with persistently elevated liver enzyme values judged clinically significant by the investigator.

About this study

Official title: An Open-label Extension Study of Candesartan Cilexetil in Hypertensive Pediatric Subjects Ages 1 to <11 Years: a Long Term Study

The HIP study is designed to follow the clinical experience of young hypertensive children receiving candesartan cilexetil (Atacand) who are between the ages of 1 and less than 11 years old. The study is open label with no concurrent control group. To be eligible for HIP, children must have completed Study 328 without discontinuation due to a study drug-related AE and in the investigator's opinion, have an on-going clinical indication for an orally administered suspension of candesartan cilexetil to control blood pressure. Children will return to clinic every 3 months (more frequently at the investigator's discretion) for safety and efficacy evaluations. Safety will be monitored by serum chemistries, urinalyses, echocardiograms and by physical examinations at specified clinic visits. Blood pressure and heart rate will be measured at each clinic visit. Study drug is administered orally once a day. Investigators determine the efficacious dose ( 0.05 mg/kg; 0.2 mg/kg; 0.4 mg/kg) on a vist-by-vist basis depending on the child's BP response. It is anticipated that study dose will align closely with the effective anti-hypertensive dose determined in Study 328. If the child's hypertension is not well-controlled, dose adjustments up to a maximum of 0.4mg/kg/day and/or the addition of other antihypertensive medications are permitted, with the exception of other angiotensin receptor blockers. The HIP study offers eligible children up to two additional years of treatment with the liquid formulation of Atacand.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Change From Baseline to Final Visit in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP).

    Blood pressure response was defined as Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) less than the 95th percentile based on population height-adjusted charts for age and gender. Response rates were based on the proportion of patients meeting the criteria at each evaluation time point or the last available measure.

    Measured: Every 3 months- baseline to final visit

  2. Mean Change From Baseline to Final Visit in Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP).

    Blood pressure response was defined as Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) less than the 95th percentile based on population height-adjusted charts for age and gender. Response rates were based on the proportion of patients meeting the criteria at each evaluation time point or the last available measure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing candesartan cilexetil in people with Hypertension, run by AstraZeneca at 13 sites in 6 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 12 Jul 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in Germany, Belgium, Italy, Poland, Ukraine and 1 more country. 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 29 Jun 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?

Mean Change From Baseline to Final Visit in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP). (time frame: Every 3 months- baseline to final visit). 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?
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 12 Jul 2011.
