About this study
Official title: A Multi-center, Randomized, Parallel Phase IV Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Triple Therapy of Telmisartan/Amlodipine/Rosuvastatin in Patients With Dyslipidemia and Hypertension
The goal of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of FDC therapy with triple therapy of Telmisartan 40 mg/Amlodipine 5 mg/Rosuvastatin 10mg in Korean patients with both hypertension and dyslipidemia.
Read the detailed description
Patients were randomly assigned to 2 groups: (1) Triple therapy (40mg of telmisartan and 5mg of amlodipine and 10mg of rosuvastatin); (2) Dual therapy (5mg of amlodipine and 10mg of atorvastatin). After 8 weeks of treatment, the change in mean sitting systolic blood pressure (MSSBP) and the percent change in LDL-C between 2 group, will be compared.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing NEWSTATIN TS and CADUET in people with Hypertension and Dyslipidemias, run by Hyo-Soo Kim at 9 sites in South Korea.
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 7 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 27 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 9 sites in South Korea. 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?
Percent changes in mean sitting systolic blood pressure (MSSBP) (time frame: 8 weeks). 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?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03860220, 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 27 Apr 2026.
