About this study

Official title: A Study of a Hypertensive Population Under Treatment With Micardis® and Micardis Plus® Under Real Clinical Conditions With the Goal to Control the Early Morning BP Rise (SURGE II)

The primary objective was to evaluate, through the use of Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM), the degree of BP control in the early morning hours after 8 weeks of treatment in patients with essential hypertension under treatment with Micardis®, Telmisartan or Micardis Plus®, Telmisartan hydrochlorothiazide.

The co-primary endpoints were the degree of BP control, and change from baseline until study end in mean systolic blood pressure (mSBP) and mean diastolic blood pressure (mDBP) HBPM in the early morning hours after 8 weeks of treatment with Micardis®, Telmisartan or Micardis Plus®, Telmisartan hydrochlorothiazide.

Secondary endpoints were office BP control rates, office BP response rates, and reduction in mSBP and mDBP Office blood pressure measurement (OBPM) from baseline to final visit, discontinuations and tolerability

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of degree of Blood Pressure (BP) control in the early morning hours

    Measured: 8 weeks of treatment

  2. Change from baseline in mSBP and mDBP by HBPM in the early morning

    BP control during the morning time-periods (6:00 to 11:59), BP < 135/85 mmHg (HBPM: mean of morning measurements)

    Measured: Baseline, after 8 weeks of treatment

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change from baseline in office BP control rates

    Measured: Baseline, after 8 weeks

  2. Change from baseline in office BP response rates

    Measured: Baseline, after 8 weeks

  3. Reduction in mSBP and mDBP by OBPM

    Measured: Baseline, after 8 weeks

  4. Number of patients with adverse events

    Measured: up to 8 weeks

  5. Global Assessment of tolerability by investigator on a 6-point scale

    Measured: after 8 weeks

  6. Global assessment efficacy by investigator on 6-point scale

    Measured: after 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of 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 3 inclusion and 10 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 17 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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 of degree of Blood Pressure (BP) control in the early morning hours (time frame: 8 weeks of treatment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 Sep 2014.
