About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effects of Different Antihypertensive Drugs in Patients With Hypertension and Obstructive Sleep Apnea

The aim of the present study is to compare the effects of different types of antihypertensive drugs (angiotensin II receptor blockers and long-acting calcium channel blockers) in patients with hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea who are not controlled well with their hypertension after continuous positive airway pressure therapy.

Read the detailed description

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypertension have a significant interrelationship, and both disorders are well known risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Treating them appropriately may improve the prognosis of the patients. Presently, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is the first-line therapy for OSA, and angiotensin II receptor blockers and long-acting calcium channel blockers for hypertension in Japan. Therefore, in the present study, we wanted to compare the effects of these different types of antihypertensive drugs on the control of blood pressure in patients with OSA whose hypertension is not controlled well after CPAP therapy.

What participants receive

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

  • Olmesartan and AzelnidipineDrug

    Also called Olmesartan (angiotensin II receptor blockers: ARB), Azelnidipine (long-acting calcium channel blockers: CCB)

    1. Olmesartan 20mg per day for 3 months and, if hypertension is not controlled, increase Olmesartan to 40mg per day for the next 3 months
    2. Olmesartan 20mg per day for 3 months and, if hypertension is not controlled, add Azelnidipine 16mg per day for the next 3 months
    3. Azelnidipine 16mg per day for 3 months, and, if hypertension is not controlled, add Olmesartan 20mg per day for the next 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Olmesartan and Azelnidipine in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Hypertension, run by Kyoto University, Graduate School of Medicine at 2 sites in Japan.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 3 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Japan. 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.

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?

Blood pressure (time frame: Six months). 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 3 Apr 2015.
