  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Age 18 or over
  • Hypertensive at screening: Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) 95 - 115 mm Hg and / or systolic blood pressure (SBP) >= 160 mm Hg on no therapy or on monotherapy. If currently on monotherapy, DBP could have been < 95 mm Hg and SBP < 160 mm Hg, but the patient must have been experiencing unacceptable side effects from their current treatment. Patient must then be able to stop treatment for the placebo run in phase of four weeks without endangering their health (at investigator's discretion)
  • Hypertensive at randomisation: DBP 95-115 mm Hg and or SBP >=160
  • Able to give written informed consent

Who cannot join

  • Grad III or grad IV hypertensive retinopathy
  • Renal impairment; serum creatinine > 150 µmol/L
  • Heart failure. (New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV)
  • Liver impairment (abnormal Liver function test (LFT) with aspartate-amino transferase (AST) / alanine-amino transferase (ALT) > 2x upper normal limit or bilirubin > 2x upper normal limit)
  • Recent (< 2 months) history of unstable angina
  • Recent (< 2 months) history of myocardial infarction
Show all 26Show fewer
  • Recent (< 2 months) history of stroke
  • History of diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance or random blood glucose >= 9 mMol/L
  • Any acute systemic illness or infection
  • Any severe disease which could interfere with survival or well-being during the study (e.g. malignancy)
  • Patients of child bearing potential
  • Current or previous drug and / or alcohol abuse
  • Severely limited venous access
  • Haemoglobin < 10g/dL (male patients), haemoglobin < 9g/dL (female patients)
  • Requirement for anticoagulant therapy
  • Severe valvular heart disease (investigator's discretion)
  • Atrial fibrillation or other serious cardiac dysrhythmia
  • History of thyroid disease or abnormal thyroid function test (thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) < 0.4 mU/L or > 5.4 mU/L)
  • History of connective tissue disorder
  • Concurrent participation in any other clinical trial or participation within two months enrolment
  • Requirement for restricted drugs
  • Patients currently on treatment with lacidipine or bendrofluazide (BNFZ)
  • Patients unable to attend clinics
  • Any clinical condition which in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude the safe fulfillment of the protocol and the safe administration of trial medication
  • Seated blood pressure (BP) exceeding either 210 mm Hg (systolic) or 115 mm Hg (diastolic) at screening or randomization
  • Standing BP < 140 mm Hg (systolic) and < 95 mm Hg (diastolic) at randomization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Lacidipine and Bendrofluazide in people with Hypertension, run by Boehringer Ingelheim.

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 26 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 10 Sep 2014. 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 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?

Changes in ß-TG (thromboglobulin) (time frame: Up to week 12 after drug administration). 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 10 Sep 2014.
