About this study

Official title: Confirmatory Study of the Efficacy and Safety of the Combination of Losartan / Chlorthalidone vs Losartan / Hydrochlorothiazide in the Treatment of Patients With Essential Arterial Hypertension

Phase IIIb, randomized, double-blind, prospective, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the fixed-dose combination of losartan / chlorthalidone compared with losartan / hydrochlorothiazide in the treatment of patients with essential arterial hypertension.

Read the detailed description

Two groups of patients will be formed, who wil start treatment with the lower dose (Losartan 50 mg + chlorthalidone 12.5 mg; Losartan 50 mg + hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg).

Blood pressure (BP) figures will be evaluated and, in those patients who do not reach the therapeutic goal, defined as a decrease in Systolic blood pressure (SBP) / Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) values of 20/10 mmHg with respect to their baseline values or BP <140 / 90 mmHg, the dose will be escalated to the next available concentration for both treatments (Losartan 100 mg + chlorthalidone 25 mg; Losartan 100 mg + hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg) at 30 days or during an unscheduled visit.

After two months of treatment, the BP figures obtained with the final dose and the proportion of subjects who achieved a decrease in SBP / DBP values of 20/10 mmHg or <140/90 mmHg with respect to both combinations will be compared, and the frequency of adverse events presented will be described.

Being tested

    Measured: Baseline and 2 months

  2. Change in diastolic blood pressure (DBP)

    Evaluate the mean change in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) at 2 months with respect to their baseline measurement, by treatment group with the final dose.

    Measured: Baseline and 2 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Dosage adjustment requirement

    Describe the proportion of subjects who required dose adjustment per treatment group.

    Measured: 2 months

  2. Subjects who achieved blood pressure reduction goals

    Proportion of subjects who decreased their systolic pressure by 20 mmHg and their diastolic pressure by 10 mmHg from baseline or blood pressure <140/90 mmHg per treatment group with the final dose.

    Measured: 2 months

  3. Percentage of adherence to treatment

    Assess the percentage of adherence to treatment during the intervention, by pill count.

    Measured: 2 months

  4. Adverse events

    Describe the frequency and intensity of adverse events and adverse reactions presented during the study by treatment group.

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Losartan/Chlorthalidone in fixed dose and Losartan + hydrochlorothiazide in fixed dose in people with Essential Arterial Hypertension, run by Laboratorios Silanes S.A. de C.V. at 1 site in Mexico.

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 5 inclusion and 11 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 13 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Mexico. 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?

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 in systolic blood pressure (SBP) (time frame: Baseline and 2 months). 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 NCT04927299, which also lists 12 linked publications.

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 13 Mar 2025.
