About this study
Official title: The "ALiskiren or Losartan Effects on bioMARKers of Myocardial Remodeling (ALLMARK)" Study
The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy of aliskiren for reducing circulating levels of biomarkers of left ventricular (LV) remodeling associated with LV hypertrophy (LVH) in hypertensive patients.
Read the detailed description
Blood pressure was measured 10 weeks after starting treatment (visit 3). All patients who did not achieve the required blood pressure (<140/90 mmHg) after 8 weeks of treatment at the maximum doses of study medication were given 5 mg of amlodipine in addition to the study medication in order to reach the required BP (<140/90 mmHg).
The patient's blood pressure was assessed at visit 4 (week 18) and if it was still not at the required level (<140/90 mmHg), the dose of amlodipine was increased to 10 mg.
Blood pressure was again assessed at visit 5 (week 26) and if the required values had not been reached (<140/90 mmHg), a 12.5 mg dose of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) was prescribed

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Aliskiren, Losartan and Amlodipine in people with Hypertension and Left Ventricle Hypertrophy, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 25 sites in Spain.
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 24 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 25 sites in Spain. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Jul 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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 From Baseline in C-terminal Propeptide of Procollagen Type I (PICP) (time frame: Baseline, Week 36). 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 24 Jul 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
