About this study

Official title: A Multi-center, Randomized, Open-label, Parallel-group Clinical Study to Compare the Effects of Lercanidipine Hydrochloride Tablet (Zanidip®) and Felodipine Sustained-Release Tablet for the Treatment of Patients With Mild-to-Moderate Hypertension

This study will be compare Felodipine sustained-release tablets, to Lercanidipine hydrochloride tablets (Zanidip®) for the treatment of patients with mild-to-moderate primary hypertension and to investigate the influence on patients' heart rate and blood pressure variability.

Read the detailed description

The study is designed as a multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group and active controlled clinical study. The ratio of test group (lercanidipine group) and control group (felodipine group) is 1:1.

The study period lasts for 8 weeks, including 0-2 weeks of run-in period and 6 weeks of treatment period. There are 5 visits: run-in period (V1), baseline (V2), 2 weeks after treatment (V3), 4 weeks after treatment (V4) and 6 weeks after treatment (V5).

There are about 2 weeks for run-in period, the patients should start continuous recording the data of self-measuring blood pressure and heart rate for 1 week (at least 5days) before randomized in V2. Patients who under the antihypertensive treatment or have discontinued the antihypertensive treatment for less than 1 week need to discontinued the treatment for over 1week and start this trial; patients who never received any antihypertensive drug or patients who have discontinued the antihypertensive treatment for over one week will directly enter treatment period.

In V2, investigator should confirm the patient meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria, only the eligible patients will be divided groups by random, and the rest need to drop-out this trial. In that day of randomization, patients should take drug.

After the randomization, the patients will be given study drugs, and take take once-daily dose of the study drugs at 07:00-09:00 (except the day of visit). During the treatment, there will be a visit every 2 weeks, and in each visit the patients need to get the study drug for next two weeks, totally 3 times. In V3 and V4, if the patients' mean DBP ≥ 90 mm Hg, the doses will be doubled, twice a day (07:00- 09:00 in the morning and 16:00-18:00 in the afternoon), otherwise, the dosage do not change.

From the day beginning administration of the study drugs, patient should measure the BP and HR every day with the electronic sphygmomanometer after getting up in the morning and before going to bed. And patient records the data of blood pressure and heart rate in the record card. 2 to 3 minutes waiting for each measure and at least 12 significant date for consecutive 3 days. In every visit, investigator will collect the data of patient's self-measuring blood pressure, and give new recording forms for self-measuring blood pressure to the patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in mean seated diastolic blood pressure in clinical after 6 weeks of treatment

    after 6 weeks of treatment, the Changes from baseline in mean seated diastolic blood pressure in clinical will be compared between study drug and control drug

    Measured: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change from baseline in mean seated systolic blood pressure after 6 weeks of treatment

    1. Change from baseline in mean seated systolic blood pressure after 6 weeks of treatment;
    2. Normalization rate
    • Normalization rate of clinical: defined as patients with a SBP<140mmHg and a DBP<90mmHg after 6 weeks of treatment.
    • Normalization rate of ABPM: defined as patients with mean BP < 130/80 mm Hg within 24 hours after 6 weeks of treatment.
    • Normalization rate of self-measurement: defined as patients with mean BP < 135/85 mm Hg within 1 week after 6 weeks of treatment.
    1. Analysis the heteromorphosis of BP and HR.
    2. Evaluate the total effective rate of clinical

    Measured: 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Zanidip and Felodipine sustained-release tablet in people with Hypertension, run by Lee's Pharmaceutical Limited at 1 site in China.

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 20 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 16 Oct 2014. 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 China. 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 mean seated diastolic blood pressure in clinical after 6 weeks of treatment (time frame: 6 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01520285, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Oct 2014.
