About this study
Official title: An Eight-week Randomised Double-blind Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Telmisartan 80 mg+ Amlodipine 5 mg Fixed-dose Combination vs. Telmisartan 80 mg Monotherapy in Patients With Hypertension Who Fail to Respond Adequately to Treatment With Telmisartan 80 mg Monotherapy
If a patient cannot have his or her blood pressure controlled with telmisartan 80 mg, an antihypertensive drug from different class should be started concomitantly.
In the Japanese 3x3 factorial trial of telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide in essential hypertension patients whose diastolic blood pressure (DBP) are equal or more than 95 mmHg, the DBP control rate (less than 90 mmHg) after 8 weeks treatment of the telmisartan 80 mg monotherapy group (66 patients) was 41.5%. There should be medical needs of the telmisartan 80 mg and amlodipine 5 mg fixed dose combination because some patients cannot have his or her blood pressure controlled with telmisartan 80 mg.
Thus, this clinical trial is being conducted to evaluate the antihypertensive effect and safety of a fixed-dose combination (FDC) drug of 2 antihypertensive agents with different pharmacological effects, telmisartan 80 mg and amlodipine 5 mg (T80/A5 mg), compared with telmisartan 80 mg (T80 mg) monotherapy in Japanese patients with essential hypertension who fail to respond adequately to treatment with the maximum dose of telmisartan 80 mg monotherapy. In this trial, a multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled, parallel group comparison method is employed.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
If a patient cannot have his or her blood pressure controlled with telmisartan 80 mg, an antihypertensive drug from different class should be started concomitantly.
In the Japanese 3x3 factorial trial of telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide in essential hypertension patients whose diastolic blood pressure (DBP) are equal or more than 95 mmHg, the DBP control rate (less than 90 mmHg) after 8 weeks treatment of the telmisartan 80 mg monotherapy group (66 patients) was 41.5%. There should be medical needs of the telmisartan 80 mg and amlodipine 5 mg fixed dose combination because some patients cannot have his or her blood pressure controlled with telmisartan 80 mg.
Thus, this clinical trial is being conducted to evaluate the antihypertensive effect and safety of a fixed-dose combination (FDC) drug of 2 antihypertensive agents with different pharmacological effects, telmisartan 80 mg and amlodipine 5 mg (T80/A5 mg), compared with telmisartan 80 mg (T80 mg) monotherapy in Japanese patients with essential hypertension who fail to respond adequately to treatment with the maximum dose of telmisartan 80 mg monotherapy.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Telmisartan and amlodipine and Telmisartan in people with Hypertension, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 4 sites in Japan.
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 11 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 27 Jun 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 4 sites in Japan. 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 4 Jul 2012). 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?
Reduction From the Reference Baseline in Mean Seated Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) at Trough (time frame: Baseline, 8 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 27 Jun 2014.
