About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Dose-Ranging Study of the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of TAK-536 in Subjects With Mild to Moderate Uncomplicated Essential Hypertension

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dose-response relationships of azilsartan, once daily (QD) in participants with mild to moderate uncomplicated essential hypertension.

Read the detailed description

Hypertension is known to cause multiple organ damage by being combined with not only blood pressure but also other hemodynamics, endocrinological/metabolic abnormalities and genetic factors. This becomes a medically and medical-economically significant problem in Japan The significance of early treatment of hypertension and of long-term control of blood pressure has been increasing year by year.

Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited invented TAK-536 (azilsartan), an angiotensin II receptor blocker for decreasing blood pressure. This study investigating the efficacy and safety of azilsartan using candesartan cilexetil, a widely used antihypertensive drug, as a reference control.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Azilsartan and Candesartan cilexetil in people with Essential Hypertension, run by Takeda.

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 3 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 3 Feb 2011. 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. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 from Baseline in Sitting Trough Diastolic Blood Pressure (Week 12). (time frame: Baseline and Week 12.). 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 3 Feb 2011.
