  • Ramipril and hydrochlorothiazideDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. Compare the effects on sitting diastolic blood pressure of two antihypertensive drugs in combination against each antihypertensive alone after an eight week treatment period.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Compare the effect on sitting diastolic blood pressure of two antihypertensive drugs in combination taken once daily against one antihypertensive drug taken twice daily.

  2. Compare the effect on sitting diastolic blood pressure of a dose of an antihypertensive drug taken once daily against half of the same dose taken twice daily.

  3. Compare the effect on the sitting and standing blood pressure among all treatment groups.

  4. Compare the safety of each medication regimen stated above.

  5. Compare the effect on mean 24-hour diastolic blood pressure (ABPM) of the medication regimens stated above.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 60 sites in United States. 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?

Compare the effects on sitting diastolic blood pressure of two antihypertensive drugs in combination against each antihypertensive alone after an eight week treatment period.. 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 NCT00355589, 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.
