About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of a 4 Week Therapy With the Single Pill (SPC) Combination of Aliskiren 300 mg / Amlodipine 10 mg in Hypertensive Patients Not Adequately Respond to an Uptitrated 4 Week Therapy With the SPC of Olmesartan 40 mg / Amlodipine 10 mg, With a Potential Extension if Patients Still Not Adequately Respond With a 4 Week Therapy With the SPC Aliskiren 300 mg / Amlodipine 10 mg / HCTZ 12,5 mg

This study will assess the efficacy and safety of the single pill combination of Aliskiren and Amlodipine in patients with moderate hypertension not adequately responding to a single pill combination of Olmesartan and Amlodipine.

Further this study will also assess the efficacy and safety of a single pill combination of Aliskiren, Amlodipine and Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) in patients with moderate hypertension not adequately responding to a single pill combination of Aliskiren and Amlodipine.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Aliskiren/Amlodipine and Aliskiren/Amlodipine/HCTZ in people with Essential Hypertension, run by Novartis at 1 site in Germany.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 6 Dec 2013. 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 Germany. 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?

Change in mean sitting diastolic blood pressure after 4 weeks of treatment (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 NCT01113047, 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.

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 6 Dec 2013.
