About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel Group, Single-Centre Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Lacidipine and Amlodipine Once-daily Treatment in Hypertensive Adult Patients

The sustained reduction in elevated blood pressure and lower incidence of adverse events of Lacidipine may provide additional benefits for hypertension patients than other CCBs (calcium channel blockers). This study is to compare the efficacy and safety of Lacidipine with Amlodipine, the most widely used CCB in Taiwan, in hypertensive patients.

Being tested
Lacidipine 4 or 6 mg (oral), Amlodipine 5 or 10 mg(oral)
Keywords

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Lacidipine 4 or 6 mg (oral)Drug

  • Amlodipine 5 or 10 mg(oral)Drug

    Also called Lacidipine 4 or 6 mg (oral)

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the efficacy of of Lacidipine 4 or 6 mg and Amlodipine 5 or 10 mg on blood pressure profiles, in terms of blood pressure, heart rate, and edema after 8 weeks of treatment.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To compare the overall safety profile of Lacidipine and Amlodipine, in terms of percentage and types of adverse events reported after 8 weeks of treatment.
