About this study

Official title: Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Two Fixed Dose Combinations of Irbesartan / Amlodipine and Monotherapy After Eight Weeks of Treatment in Subjects With Uncomplicated Mild to Moderate Essential Hypertension

The primary objective is to compare the extent of reduction of mean Seated Diastolic Blood Pressure (SeDBP) at the end of 8 weeks between each Fixed Dose Combination (FDC), its individual constituents administered as monotherapy and placebo.

The secondary objectives are:

  • to compare the reduction of mean Seated Systolic Blood Pressure (SeSBP) at the end of 8 weeks from baseline between each FDC, its individual constituents administered as monotherapy and placebo.
  • to compare the reduction of mean SeDBP and SeSBP at 4 weeks from baseline between each FDC, its individual constituents administered as monotherapy and placebo.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing IRBESARTAN (SR47436), Amlodipine and Irbesartan / Amlodipine in people with Hypertension, run by Sanofi at 4 sites in 4 countries.

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 6 inclusion and 25 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 5 Jan 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in India, Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Difference in mean change in SeDBP between each FDC, its individual constituents administered as monotherapy and placebo (time frame: At week 0, week 2, week 4 and week 8). 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 5 Jan 2011.
