简要总结
This is a Phase III, Prospective, Randomized, Double Blind, Active Controlled, Comparative, Parallel Group, Multicenter Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Fixed Dose Combination of Eplerenone plus Torsemide Tablets Versus Fixed Dose Combination of Spironolactone plus Torsemide Tablets in Patients with Congestive Heart Failure.
Patients who are willing and able to participate in the study will sign and date the Informed Consent Form on the day of screening visit (Visit 1). During this screening period, patients who are willing to give consent will be evaluated for all the eligibility criteria. Eligible patients (male or female) aged between 18 years and above meeting all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria prior to screening will be considered for the study.
After confirming the inclusion/exclusion criteria the subject will be randomized and provided with study medication at randomization visit. Subjects will be provided with patient diary at randomization visit, which need to be brought along with in each subsequent visit till the last visit. Follow up visits will be done on week 2/day 14(±3), week 6/day 42(±3), week 12/day 84(±3), week 18/day 126(±3) and week 24/day 168(±3) (final visit) of treatment to assess efficacy, safety and tolerability.
Patients will be assigned to either of the three arms i.e., Arm A or Arm B or Arm C consisting of FDC of Eplerenone 25 mg + Torsemide 10 mg Tablets or FDC of Eplerenone 25 mg
- Torsemide 20 mg Tablets or FDC of Spironolactone 25 mg + Torsemide 20 mg Tablets. Patients will be advised to take one tablet once daily orally, swallowed with water around same time every day for 24 weeks.
