About this study

Official title: An Eight-week Randomised Double-blind Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Telmisartan 80 mg and Amlodipine 5 mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg vs. Telmisartan 80 mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg in Patients With Hypertension Who Fail to Respond Adequately to Treatment With Telmisartan 80 mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg, Followed by a 52 Weeks Extension Study to Assess Long Term Safety of Telmisartan 80 mg and Amlodipine 5 mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg

This is a multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, active-controlled, parallel-group comparative trial to compare the fixed dose combination (FDC) of telmisartan 80 mg + hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg and amlodipine 5 mg (T80/A5/H12.5 mg) to telmisartan 80 mg+ hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg (T80/H12.5 mg) in blood pressure lowering effect at week 8, the end of the double-blind period in essential hypertensive patients who fail to respond adequately to telmisartan 80 mg+ hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg.

Patients are assigned to one of the two groups after a 6-week open-label run-in period taking T80/H12.5 mg.

In addition the long-term safety of telmisartan 80 mg+ amlodipine 5 mg+ hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg will be evaluated in a 52-week extension period.

In the 52-week open label extension period patients who are assigned to the T80/A5/H12.5 mg group continue the T80/A5/H12.5 mg therapy, and patients who are assigned to the T80/ /H12.5 mg group change to the T80/A5/H12.5 mg therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Mean Seated DBP at Trough After 8 Weeks of the Double-blind Period.

    Change from baseline in mean seated diastolic blood pressure (DBP) at trough (24-hour post dosing) after 8 weeks of the double-blind period. The results are presented as 'change' rather than 'reduction' i.e., reductions are expressed with negative values'. The 'adjusted mean' is shown as 'mean'.

    Measured: baseline and 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change From Baseline in Mean Seated SBP at Trough After 8 Weeks of the Double-blind Period.

    Change from baseline in mean seated systolic blood pressure (SBP) at trough after 8 weeks of the double-blind period. The results are presented as 'change' rather than 'reduction' i.e., reductions are expressed with negative values'. The 'adjusted mean' is shown as 'mean'.

    Measured: baseline and 8 weeks

  2. The Percentage of Patients With DBP<90 mmHg and SBP<140 mmHg Blood Pressure at Trough After 8 Weeks of Double-blind Period.

    The percentage of patients with DBP<90 mmHg and SBP<140 mmHg as seated blood pressure at trough after 8 weeks of the double-blind period. The results are presented as 'change' rather than 'reduction' i.e., reductions are expressed with negative values'. The 'adjusted mean' is shown as 'mean'.

    Measured: Double-blind and 8 weeks

  3. The Number of Patients With DBP<90 mmHg and SBP<140 mmHg Blood Pressure at Trough After 52 Weeks of Extension Period.

    The number of patients with DBP<90 mmHg and SBP<140 mmHg as seated blood pressure at trough after 52 weeks of the extension period. Note, week 52 of the extension period corresponds to 60 weeks after the reference baseline.

    The results are presented as 'change' rather than 'reduction' i.e., reductions are expressed with negative values'. The 'adjusted mean' is shown as 'mean'.

    Measured: Reference baseline (week 0) and week 60 (end of extension period)

  4. Change From Baseline in Mean DBP Pressure at Trough After 52 Weeks of the Extension Period.

    Change from baseline in mean seated diastolic blood pressure at trough after 52 weeks of the extension period. Note, week 52 of the extension period corresponds to 60 weeks after the reference baseline.

    The results are presented as 'change' rather than 'reduction' i.e., reductions are expressed with negative values'. The 'adjusted mean' is shown as 'mean'.

    Measured: Reference baseline (week 0) and week 60 (end of extension period)

  5. Change From Baseline in Mean Seated SBP at Trough After 52 Weeks of the Extension Period.

    Change from baseline in mean seated systolic blood pressure at trough after 52 weeks of the extension period. Note, week 52 of the extension period corresponds to 60 weeks after the reference baseline.

    The results are presented as 'change' rather than 'reduction' i.e., reductions are expressed with negative values'. The 'adjusted mean' is shown as 'mean'.

    Measured: Reference baseline (week 0) and week 60 (end of extension period)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing telmisartan + HCTZ and amlodipine in people with Hypertension, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 17 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 3 inclusion and 8 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 28 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 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 28 Mar 2016). 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?

Change From Baseline in Mean Seated DBP at Trough After 8 Weeks of the Double-blind Period. (time frame: baseline and 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 28 Mar 2016.
