Chronic Heart FailureNCT02137733
The Cardiac Insufficiency BIsoprolol Study in Japanese Patients With Chronic Heart Failure (CIBIS-J)
A study testing Bisoprolol and Carvedilol in people with Chronic Heart Failure, run by Mebix Inc at 110 sites in Japan.

About this study
The purpose of this study is to investigate the non-inferiority of bisoprolol to carvedilol by evaluating tolerability (The probability that administered maintenance dose reaches the maximum will be determined as an indicator) as a primary endpoint when bisoprolol or carvedilol is administered for 48 weeks to Japanese chronic heart failure patients. In addition, the safety and efficacy of bisoprolol will be investigated.

CarvedilolDrug
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Bisoprolol group | Active comparator | Daily oral administration of bisoprolol 0.625 mg tablet once a day should be given (Step 1). If tolerability is confirmed by an investigator, the dose should be increased to 1.25 mg (bisoprolol 0.625 mg, 2 tablets; or bisoprolol 2.5 mg, half tablet; once daily) (Step 2). In the same manner, the doses should be increased to 2.5 mg (bisoprolol 2.5 mg, 1 tablet; or bisoprolol 5 mg, half tablet; once daily, Step 3), to 3.75 mg (bisoprolol 2.5 mg, 1.5 tablets once daily, Step 4), and to 5 mg (bisoprolol 2.5 mg, 2 tablets; or bisoprolol 5 mg, 1 tablet; once daily, Step 5). Receives: Drug: Bisoprolol |
| Carvedilol group | Active comparator | Daily oral administration of carvedilol 1.25 mg, 1 tablet twice a day (after breakfast and supper) should be given (Step 1). If tolerability is confirmed by an investigator after administering 2.5 mg/day of carvedilol, the dose should be increased to 5 mg (carvedilol 2.5 mg, 1 tablet twice daily) (Step 2). In the same manner, the dose should be increased to 10 mg (carvedilol 2.5 mg, 2 tablets twice daily, Step 3), to 15 mg (carvedilol 2.5 mg, 3 tablets twice daily, Step 4), and to 20 mg (carvedilol 10 mg, 1 tablet twice daily, Step 5). Receives: Drug: Carvedilol |
