About this study

Hypertension is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Although multiple drugs are frequently used to treat it, in the South Asian context, evidence is lacking on best drug combinations. This trial aims to compare efficacy of three single-pill combinations of two anti-hypertensive agents on 24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure among 1968 individuals with hypertension. The trial is a single-blind randomized controlled trial spread across 37 hospitals in India.

Single Pill combinations (SPCs): 1) Amlodipine + Perindopril, 2) Perindopril + Indapamide, 3) Amlodipine + Indapamide

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-centre, individual randomized single-blind, parallel group, three-armed superiority trial to compare the efficacy of three different single-pill combinations of antihypertensive therapies (Amlodipine/Perindopril, Perindopril/Indapamide, and Amlodipine/Indapamide)on 24-hour ambulatory BP levels in Indians.

  12. Serum urea

    To determine the effect of three single pill combinations of two antihypertensive agents on serum urea

    Measured: Change in serum urea measured at baseline and 6 month

  13. Serum creatinine

    To determine the effect of three single pill combinations of two antihypertensive agents on serum creatinine

    Measured: Change in serum creatinine measured at baseline and 6 month

  14. eGFR

    To determine the effect of three single pill combinations of two antihypertensive agents on eGFR

    Measured: Change in eGFR measured at baseline and 6 month

  15. Adverse events causing trial withdrawal

    To determine the effect of three single pill combinations of two antihypertensive agents on adverse events causing trial withdrawal

    Measured: adverse events causing withdrawal at 2 month, 4 month and 6 month

  16. renin and aldosterone

    To determine whether baseline plasma renin and/or aldosterone predicts any differential BP effects of the three single-pill combinations under investigation.

    Measured: Change in plasme renin and/or aldosterone measured at baseline and 6 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Amlodipine + Perindopril, Perindopril + Indapamide and Amlodipine + Indapamide in people with Primary Hypertension, run by Centre for Chronic Disease Control, India at 35 sites in India.

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 15 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 8 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 35 sites in India. 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?

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?

24-hour ambulatory systolic Blood Pressure (time frame: Change in between baseline and 6 month Ambulatory Systolic Blood Pressure). 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 NCT05683301, 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 8 Oct 2024.
