Trial summary

About this study

Official title: Randomized Open-label 2-arm Parallel Design Comparator Study of the Effect of Adalat® XL® Compared to Diltiazem on Proteinuria and Blood Pressure in Patients With Diabetes and Mild to Moderate Hypertension When Used as an Add on to Avalide®

The study consists of a 12 week run-in period when all subjects are stabilized on a single dose of Avalide (300 mg/12.5 mg or 300mg/25mg dose) per day. After this 12 week run-in ends, subjects will be randomly assigned to start the addition of either Adalat XL or Tiazac XC for 18 weeks of treatment. Subjects will have a 1 in 2 chance of receiving the study drug Adalat XL and a 1 in 2 chance of receiving the drug Tiazac XC. An end of treatment visit will be done 18 weeks after start of study drug. The expected duration of the study is 30 weeks. The purpose of this study is to compare the change in proteinuria, through a urine test, while taking study drug until high blood pressure (BP) is reduced to near normal levels in study subjects with diabetic nephropathy and hypertension.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Adalat XLDrug

    Patients will receive Avalide (Irbesartan/ hydrochlorothiazide; 300 mg/12.5 mg per day or 300 mg/25.0 mg per day) during the 12 week screening period and during the 18 week treatment period. At baseline, patients will be provided with Adalat XL at a starting dose of 20 or 30 mg. Adalat XL will be titrated during the 18 week treatment period in order to optimize blood pressure. Adalat XL will be supplied in 20 mg, 30 mg, 60 mg, and 90 mg.

  • Tiazac XCDrug

    Patients will receive Avalide (Irbesartan/ hydrochlorothiazide; 300 mg/12.5 mg per day or 300 mg/25.0 mg per day) during the 12 week screening period and during the 18 week treatment period. At baseline, patients will be provided with Tiazac XC at a starting dose of 180 mg. Tiazac XC will be titrated during the 18 week treatment period in order to optimize blood pressure. Tiazac XC will be supplied in 180 mg, 240 mg, 300 mg and 360 mg.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Proteinuria

    Measured: Baseline/Randomization to Week 18

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Percentage of subjects reaching a BP target of 130/80 mmHg at Week 18

    Measured: Baseline/Randomization to Week 18

  2. Number and doses of anti-hypertensives used in the 2 treatment arms

    Measured: Baseline/Randomization to Week 18

  3. Levels of urinary albumin and protein content and estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in the 2 treatment groups

    Measured: Baseline/Randomization to Week 18

  4. Early BP reduction from randomization achieved with the starting dose in the 2 treatment arms

    Measured: Baseline/Randomization to Week 1

  5. Adverse Events leading to early withdrawal

    Measured: Screening to end of study

  6. All Adverse Events especially, edema

    Measured: Screening to end of study

  7. Change in index of glycemia (HbA1c)

    Measured: Screening to Week 18

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Adalat XL and Tiazac XC in people with Diabetic Nephropathies and Hypertension, run by Bayer.

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 6 inclusion and 10 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Nov 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Change in Proteinuria (time frame: Baseline/Randomization to Week 18). 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 16 Nov 2012.
