Filtered Trial for Telmisartan 40mg Non-responder

Phase 3

Completed

• Conditions: Hypertension

• Registration Number: NCT00550953
• Lead Sponsor: Boehringer Ingelheim

Brief Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to:

Demonstrate that a fixed-dose combination of telmisartan 40 mg plus amlodipine 5 mg is superior to telmisartan 40 mg alone in patients with essential hypertension and inadequately controlled with telmisartan 40 mg monotherapy.

Study & Design

• Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Design: PARALLEL

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Decrease in Seated Diastolic Blood Pressure From Baseline to 8 Weeks	Baseline and 8 Weeks	The mean of the change value was least square mean which was calculated by analysis of covariance with factor treatment and center, and covariate baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Decrease in Seated Systolic Blood Pressure From Baseline to 8 Weeks	Baseline and 8 weeks	The mean of the change value was least square mean which was calculated by analysis of covariance with factor treatment and center, and covariate baseline.
Percentage of Patients With Seated Trough Diastolic Blood Pressure Less Than 90 mmHg at 8 Weeks (0 Percent at Baseline)	8 weeks	Seated trough diastolic blood pressure defined as blood pressure in a sitting position no later than 24 hours after the last intake
Percentage of Patients With Seated Trough Systolic Blood Pressure Less Than 140 mmHg at 8 Weeks (0 Percent at Baseline)	8 weeks	Seated trough systolic blood pressure defined as blood pressure in a sitting position no later than 24 hours after the last intake
Percentage of Patients Who Achieved an Adequate Response in Seated Trough Diastolic Blood Pressure at 8 Weeks (0 Percent at Baseline)	8 weeks	Adequate response defined that seated trough diastolic blood pressure was \<90 mmHg or decreased from reference baseline by \>=10 mmHg at 8 weeks
Percentage of Patients With Optimal, Normal or High Normal Blood Pressure at 8 Weeks (0 Percent at Baseline)	8 weeks	Optimal, normal, high normal blood pressure were defined as follows: * Optimal: Systolic blood pressure (SBP) \< 120 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) \< 80 mmHg; * Normal: SBP \>= 120 mmHg or DBP \>= 80 mmHg and SBP \< 130 mmHg and DBP \< 85 mmHg; * High normal: SBP \>= 130 mmHg or DBP \>= 85 mmHg and SBP \< 140 mmHg and DBP \< 90 mmHg
Percentage of Patients Who Achieved an Adequate Response in Seated Trough Systolic Blood Pressure at 8 Weeks (0 Percent at Baseline)	8 weeks	Adequate response defined that seated trough systolic blood pressure was \<140 mmHg or decreased from reference baseline by \>=20 mmHg at 8 weeks (0 percent at baseline)
Clinically Relevant Abnormalities for Changes in Blood Pressure and Pulse Rate Due to Position Change, Seated Pulse Rate, Laboratory Parameters and ECG	First administration of randomised treatment to 24 hours post last dose of randomised treatment	Clinical relevant abnormalities for changes in blood pressure and pulse rate due to position change, seated pulse rate, laboratory parameters and ECG. New abnormal findings or worsening of baseline conditions were reported as Adverse Events.
