Trial of Telmisartan 80 mg/HCTZ 12.5 mg and Telmisartan 40 mg/HCTZ 12.5 mg in Patients With Hypertension

NCT ID: NCT00326768

Last Updated: 2017-12-28

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE3
• Total Enrollment: 184 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2006-05-31
• Study Completion Date: 2007-08-31

Brief Summary

The objective of this trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of 52 weeks of open-label treatment with the fixed dose combination of telmisartan 80 mg plus HCTZ 12.5 mg and telmisartan 40 mg plus HCTZ 12.5 mg in patients with essential hypertension.

Detailed Description

This is a multi-centre study with three centres participating with a target of 30 to 90 patients entering the maintenance period and 20-60 patients completing long-term treatment per centre. The recruitment period will be about three months from the start of the study.

Study Hypothesis:

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the long-term safety of a fixed dose combination of telmisartan/HCTZ fixed-dose combination treatment. This study has no control group; therefore, no hypothesis testing will be performed.

Comparison(s):

This study has no control group.
