About this study

Official title: A Prospective Observational Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Lodoz in a Population of Hypertensive Patients

This is an observational, prospective, non-interventional, non-randomised, open label multicentric study planned to be conducted in 1000 subjects with mild to moderate primary hypertension in approximately 20 centres in Thailand. The purpose of this study is to examine the beneficial effects of combination of bisoprolol with hydrochlorothiazide available as Lodoz in treatment of Thai subjects with mild to moderate hypertension. The outcome of the study would also provide information on the optimal daily dosage schedule as well as adherence of Lodoz.

Read the detailed description

Essential hypertension is a heterogenous multifactorial disease affecting large number of population. Monotherapy treatment in hypertension is often unable to achieve the desired blood pressure (BP) goals and subjects even remain at significant risk for developing cardiovascular disease. The use of combination therapy as first line treatment for hypertension provides a solution to the management problems related to hypertension. Among combination drugs, low dose combinations are useful tools in treating large segments of hypertensive subjects because of their several advantages, such as simplified dosage regimens, improve compliance and hypertensive control, decrease dose dependent side effects as well as reduce costs.

OBJECTIVES

Primary objective:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of Lodoz therapy when used in routine clinical practice in subjects with mild to moderate essential hypertension.

Secondary objective:

  • To evaluate the discontinuation rate of Lodoz therapy.

What participants receive

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

  • Lodoz (Combination of bisoprolol and hydrochlorothiazide)Drug

    Also called Lodoz

    The investigator will decide in advance the best therapeutic strategy for each subject according to current practice, regardless of the potential participation of this subject in the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) reduction and mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) reduction at month 3 and 6 from baseline

    Measured: Baseline and until 6 months of treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Response rate for SBP (defined as ≥ 10 mm Hg or SBP < 140 mmHg)

    Measured: After 3 and 6 months of treatment

  2. Response rate for DBP (defined as ≥ 10 mm Hg or DBP < 90 mmHg)

    Measured: After 3 and 6 months of treatment

  3. Proportion of subjects having reached target BP level, regarding Thai Hypertension Society guideline

    The target BP level according to Thai Hypertension Society guideline is less than 140/90 mm Hg and less than 130/80 mm Hg in those with chronic kidney disease.

    Measured: After 3 and 6 months of treatment

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Aug 2014. 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 Thailand. 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?

Mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) reduction and mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) reduction at month 3 and 6 from baseline (time frame: Baseline and until 6 months 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 5 Aug 2014.
