About this study

Official title: Open-laBel, Multicenter, multinatiOnal, inTerventional Clinical Trial to Assess effIcacy and Safety of the Extemporaneous Combination of nEbivoLol and amLodipine in Grade 1-2 Hypertensive patIents Versus Each Monotherapy

Study to assess the anti-hypertensive efficacy and safety of the extemporaneous combination of Nebivolol 5 mg in combination with Amlodipine 5 mg or AML 10 mg in lowering the sitting diastolic BP after 8 weeks of treatment inpatients with uncontrolled BP previously treated with Nebivolol (NEB) or Amlodipine (5 mg) monotherapies for at least 4 weeks.

Read the detailed description

Approximately 290 patients are planned to be screened to ensure at least 216 patients complete the run-in period and start with the assessment period.

Grade 1 - 2 hypertensive patients [BP ranging from ≥140 to ≤179 mmHg for Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and from ≥90 to ≤109 mmHg for Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP)] on treatment with any Beta Blocker (BB) or Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB), including NEB (only 5 mg dosage allowed) or AML (only 5 mg dosage allowed) for at least one month prior to Visit 1 will be screened for eligibility.

Allowed CCBs at screening includes Felodipine, isradipine, lacidipine, lercanidipine, nicardipine, nifedipine, and nisoldipine. Patients treated with Amlodipine or Nebivolol in dosages higher than 5 mg/daily will not be eligible.

On the same day of the Screening visit, the eligible patients will enter into a run-in period of 4 weeks after screening, during which:

  • Patients receiving NEB 5 mg or AML 5 mg will continue the same therapy for 4 weeks.
  • Patients on any other BBs or CCBs will be switched to NEB 5 mg or AML 5 mg. Patients entering this phase in therapy with NEB 5 mg or AML 5 mg should be in a 1:1 ratio.

After 4 weeks (±2 days) of run-in period of monotherapy, the BP will be further assessed (Visit 2). Patients with uncontrolled BP levels (sitting SBP/DBP ≥130/80 mmHg) at Visit 2, with the treatment adherence (ranging between 80% to 120%) and who did tolerate the treatment will enter into the assessment period and will be assigned to the extemporaneous combination of NEB 5 mg and AML 5 mg. Patients with controlled BP levels (sitting SBP/DBP <130/80 mmHg) and/or who do not tolerate the treatment or have an adherence range below 80% or above 120%, will be withdrawn from the study.

After 4 weeks ±2 days in the assessment period, patients BP will be further evaluated at Visit 3: patients with controlled BP levels (sitting SBP/DBP <130/80 mmHg) will continue the same extemporaneous combination, while patients with uncontrolled BP levels will be uptitrated from extemporaneous combination NEB/AML 5/5 mg to extemporaneous combination of NEB/AML 5/10 mg for further 4 weeks.

At the end of the assessment period (8 weeks ±4 days), the patients will attend an End of Treatment Visit 4.

To correctly evaluate the additional effect of the combination therapy, the number of patients with uncontrolled BP on NEB or AML monotherapy needs to be balanced at Visit 2. In order to maintain a 1:1 ratio during the assessment period, a cap of 110 patients for each treatment arm (ie. NEB and AML) will be included at Visit 2 in order to maintain a balanced number of uncontrolled patients entering the assessment period for each drug. The evaluation will be done every 50 patients. If the rate of entrance in the assessment period for one of the 2 tested drugs will deviate more than 5%, a corrective measure will be initiated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Mean Sitting Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) Between Visit 2 (Week 0) and Visit 4 (Week 8)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Nebivolol and Amlodipine in people with Hypertension, run by Menarini International Operations Luxembourg SA at 1 site in Bulgaria.

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 12 inclusion and 19 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 4 Feb 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 Bulgaria. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Feb 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Mean Sitting Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) Between Visit 2 (Week 0) and Visit 4 (Week 8) (time frame: From Visit 2 (week 0) to Visit 4 (week 8) for a total of 8 weeks). 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 4 Feb 2025.
