About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Efficacy of Olmesartan Medoxomil Versus Nitrendipine on Systolic Blood Pressure in Elderly and Very Elderly Patients With Isolated Systolic Hypertension

To evaluate the efficacy of long-term treatment of individually optimized doses of olmesartan medoxomil compared to nitrendipine in elderly and very elderly patients with isolated systolic hypertension. The study hypothesis is non-inferiority of olmesartan medoxomil compared to nitrendipine in lowering mean sitting systolic blood pressure after 12 weeks of treatment compared to baseline. The study duration is up to 32 weeks, including a 24-week treatment period. After 12 weeks hydrochlorothiazide may be added to control blood pressure. Efficacy and safety measurements are carried out at up to 15 visits during the trial period.

Being tested
olmesartan medoxomil + hydrochlorothiazide, if necessary, nitrendipine + hydrochlorothiazide, if necessary

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in mean sitting systolic blood pressure as assessed by conventional BP measurements

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in mean sitting systolic blood pressure assessed by conventional BP measurements

    Measured: After 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 weeks

  2. Change in mean standing systolic BP, mean sitting diastolic BP and mean standing diastolic BP

    Measured: after 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 weeks of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing olmesartan medoxomil + hydrochlorothiazide, if necessary and nitrendipine + hydrochlorothiazide, if necessary in people with Isolated Systolic Hypertension, run by Daiichi Sankyo Europe, GmbH, a Daiichi Sankyo Company at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 inclusion and 7 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 1 Jun 2023. 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 Germany. 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?

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?

Change in mean sitting systolic blood pressure as assessed by conventional BP measurements (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 1 Jun 2023.
