What participants receive

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

  • IrbesartanDrug

    Irbesartan: 150mg tablets

    Dosage: Until 6 weeks: 150mg/day, then a dosage adjustment according to the blood pressure(normalized: DBP<90mmHg, responding non normalized:DBP≥90mmHg and a decrease of DBP≥10mmHg, non responding: decrease of DBP<10mmHg and DBP≥90mmHg) for the period between 6 and 12 weeks:

    • 150mg/day for normalized patients and patients responding non normalized randomized in the group A
  • IrbesartanDrug

    Irbesartan: 150mg tablets

    Until 6 weeks: 150mg/day, then a dosage adjustment according to the blood pressure(normalized: DBP<90mmHg, responding non normalized:DBP≥90mmHg and a decrease of DBP≥10mmHg, non responding: decrease of DBP<10mmHg and DBP≥90mmHg) for the period between 6 and 12 weeks:

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Irbesartan in people with Hypertension, run by Sanofi at 1 site in Tunisia.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 28 Nov 2007. 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 Tunisia. 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?

To Evaluate the efficacy of two regimens of irbesartan in patients responding but not normalized (schema N°1: maintenance 150mg/day, schema n°2: 300mg/day for 6 more weeks) (time frame: at 6 weeks of treatment). 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 28 Nov 2007.
