About this study

Official title: Candesartan Cilexetil Tablets Specified Drug-use Survey "Hypertension: Survey on Patients With Metabolic Syndrome"

The purpose of this survey is designed to investigate the treatment status of hypertensive patient with metabolic syndrome-related risk factors treated with candesartan cilexetil tablets (Blopress Tablets), as well as to assess relationships between risk factors (example, visceral fat accumulation) and the incidence of cerebrovascular/cardiovascular events in an exploratory manner.

Read the detailed description

This survey was designed to investigate the treatment status of hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome-related risk factors treated with candesartan cilexetil tablets (Blopress Tablets), as well as to assess relationships between risk factors (example, visceral fat accumulation) and the incidence of cerebrovascular/cardiovascular events in an exploratory manner.

For adults, 4-8 mg of candesartan cilexetil is typically administered orally once daily. The dose is increased up to 12 mg, as necessary. For patients with complications of renal damage, however, administration of candesartan cilexetil should be started at 2 mg once daily, and, as necessary, the dose increased up to 8 mg.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Reporting One or More Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR)

    ADR are defined as adverse events (AEs) which are in the investigator's opinion of causal relationship to the study treatment. AEs are defined as any unfavorable and unintended signs, symptoms or diseases temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product reported from the first dose of study drug to the last dose of study drug.

    Measured: Baseline up to 3 years

  2. Number of Participants Reporting One or More Serious Adverse Drug Reactions (SADR)

    SADR are defined as serious adverse events (SAEs) which are in the investigator's opinion of causal relationship to the study treatment. SADR was an ADR resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.

    Measured: Baseline up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Incidence of Cerebrovascular/Cardiovascular Events

    Cerebrovascular/cardiovascular events reported to be associated with Blopress were reported. The composite events classified under primary major adverse cardiac Events (MACE) 1 and primary MACE2 were defined as: MACE1: sudden death, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and acute myocardial infarction; MACE2: MACE1 + hospitalization for cardiac failure and intervention/hospitalization for angina pectoris. Renal events include (transition to dialysis + renal transplant).

    Measured: Baseline up to 3 years

  2. Incidence of Cerebrovascular/Cardiovascular Events Affected by Underlying Risk Factors of Obesity, Blood Glucose Abnormalities, or Lipid Abnormalities

    Participants reporting cerebrovascular/cardiovascular events who had either obesity, blood glucose abnormalities, or lipid abnormalities as any one of the underlying risk factors associated with Blopress at the time of enrollment were reported.The composite events classified under primary MACE1 and primary MACE2 were defined as: MACE1: sudden death, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and acute myocardial infarction; MACE2: MACE1 + hospitalization for cardiac failure and intervention/hospitalization for angina pectoris. Renal events include (transition to dialysis + renal transplant).

    Measured: Baseline up to 3 years

  3. Incidence of Cerebrovascular/Cardiovascular Events Affected by Underlying Risk Factors of Obesity + Blood Glucose Abnormalities, Obesity + Lipid Abnormalities, or Blood Glucose Abnormalities + Lipid Abnormalities

    Participants reporting cerebrovascular/cardiovascular events who had multiple underlying risk factors which included either obesity + blood glucose abnormalities, obesity + lipid abnormalities OR blood glucose + lipid abnormalities associated with Blopress at the time of enrollment were reported. The composite events classified under primary MACE1 and primary MACE2 were defined as: MACE1: sudden death, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and acute myocardial infarction; MACE2: MACE1 + hospitalization for cardiac failure and intervention/hospitalization for angina pectoris. Renal events include (transition to dialysis + renal transplant).

    Measured: Baseline up to 3 years

  4. Incidence of Cerebrovascular/Cardiovascular Events Affected by Underlying Risk Factors of Obesity + Blood Glucose Abnormalities + Lipid Abnormalities

    Participants reporting cerebrovascular/cardiovascular events who had obesity, blood glucose and lipid abnormalities associated with Blopress at the time of enrollment were reported. The composite events classified under primary MACE1 and primary MACE2 were defined as: MACE1: sudden death, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and acute myocardial infarction; MACE2: MACE1 + hospitalization for cardiac failure and intervention/hospitalization for angina pectoris. Renal events include (transition to dialysis + renal transplant).

    Measured: Baseline up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypertension, run by Takeda.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 28 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Jul 2016). 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?

Number of Participants Reporting One or More Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR) (time frame: Baseline up to 3 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Sep 2016.
