简要总结

Study 261A is a dose-ranging and safety study of candesartan cilexetil. It is a multinational, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study with a 4 week treatment period in hypertensive pediatric subjects.

Subjects undergo a screening evaluation, then a 1-week, single-blind, placebo run-in after which eligible subjects are allocated to receive 1 of 3 dose levels of candesartan cilexetil or placebo. The study includes 2 panels based on subject weight.

The primary efficacy analysis is based on the intent-to-treat population and tests for slope = 0 in a linear regression model with change in sitting systolic blood pressure as the dependent and non-zero dose pooled across weight panels as the independent variable. For subjects without a Double-Blind Week 4 blood pressure determination, carrying the last value forward assigns the value.

Additional analyses will include data pooled from a similar dose ranging study conducted in children 1 to < 6 years of age.

入选标准

  • Male or female ages 6 to < 17 years-of-age after parent or guardian's signing of informed consent.
  • Subjects with hypertension that is either:
  • Diagnosed and untreated with a mean sitting systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 95th percentile and ≤ 20 mm Hg (systolic) and/or 10 mm Hg (diastolic) above the 95th percentile at randomisation based on height-adjusted charts for age and gender; or
  • Previously diagnosed and currently treated with mean sitting systolic blood pressure and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 95th percentile and ≤ 20 mm Hg (systolic) and/or 10 mm Hg (diastolic) above the 95th percentile at randomisation (off treatment) based on height-adjusted charts for age and gender.
  • Females of childbearing potential (post-menarche) must have a negative urine pregnancy test prior to randomization and adhere to a pregnancy prevention method (abstinence, barrier method plus spermicidal foam, oral, or implanted contraceptive).
  • A signed informed consent by a parent or a legal guardian and an assent form signed by the subject (if applicable).

排除标准

  • Any situation, clinical condition or laboratory abnormality that, in the opinion of the investigator or sponsor, may interfere with the subject's participation in the study or would pose a significant risk to the subject or interfere with the assessment of safety and efficacy endpoints.
  • Hypertension secondary to coarctation of the aorta, pheochromocytoma, hyperthyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, or medications (eg: corticosteroids).
  • Known history of bilateral renal artery stenosis, unilateral renal artery stenosis or a renal transplant.
  • Glomerular filtration rate < 50 mL/min based on an estimated value using the Schwartz Formula.
  • Nephrotic syndrome not in remission.
  • Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.
  • Known bleeding, coagulation, or platelet disorder that could interfere with blood sampling.
  • Clinically significant valvular heart disease.
  • Clinical diagnosis of heart failure.
  • Clinically significant arrhythmia (eg, any arrhythmia requiring medical therapy or that causes symptoms).
  • Second or third degree AV block.
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding an infant.
  • Impaired liver function defined as either acute liver disease or chronic liver disease with persistent liver enzyme values greater than 1½ times the upper limit of the reference range for AST or ALT.
  • Known hypersensitivity to ARBs.
  • Unable to be off antihypertensive medication (diuretics, beta blockers, ACE Inhibitors, etc) for 6-weeks.
  • Inability to discontinue medications which may contribute to elevated blood pressure e.g. systemic corticosteroids.
  • Currently using, or used within 14 days prior to receiving double-blind medication, any concomitant medications which in the opinion of the investigator could negatively affect the subject.
  • Unable or unwilling to comply with the study requirements including blood sampling and swallowing study drug tablets.
  • Received an investigational agent within 30 days prior to receiving study medication.
  • Alcohol or drug abuse.

结局指标

主要结局

Trough sitting systolic blood pressure, the measure of effect is change from baseline to double-blind Week 4.

The endpoint (outcome variable) is the slope by linear regression

次要结局

  • To further evaluate the antihypertensive effects and the safety of candesartan cilexetil in hypertensive pediatric subjects.
  • Determine the slope of the change from baseline to double-blind treatment in:
  • • trough sitting diastolic blood pressure,
  • • trough standing diastolic blood pressure and standing systolic blood pressure,
  • • trough sitting pulse pressure.
  • - Mean change from baseline in SiSBP, SiDBP, pulse pressure, and standing SBP and DBP relative to placebo for each dose group and for all dose groups pooled
  • - Safety as assessed by adverse events, adverse events that necessitate study drug discontinuation, SAEs, heart rate, electrocardiographic findings, physical exam findings, and laboratory tests.
