Trial Outcomes & Findings for Compare Efficacy and Safety of Telmisartan/Hydrochlorothiazide With Telmisartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Plus Amlodipine (NCT NCT01911780)

NCT ID: NCT01911780

Last Updated: 2016-03-28

Results Overview

Change from baseline in mean seated diastolic blood pressure (DBP) at trough (24-hour post dosing) after 8 weeks of the double-blind period. The results are presented as 'change' rather than 'reduction' i.e., reductions are expressed with negative values'. The 'adjusted mean' is shown as 'mean'.

Participant Flow

Of the 239 enrolled patients, 205 patients were entered in the run-in period and 132 were randomized. The remaining 107 patients were withdrawn from the trial before the randomization.

An eight-week randomised, double-blind study with active-control and parallel-group comparison in Japanese patients plus 52 week extension period.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline and 8 weeks

Population: Full analysis set (FAS) was, conforming to the intent-to-treat principle, defined as all patients i) included in the treated set; and ii) taking measurements of seated DBP at reference baseline and at 1 or more time points during the double-blind period

Change from baseline in mean seated diastolic blood pressure (DBP) at trough (24-hour post dosing) after 8 weeks of the double-blind period. The results are presented as 'change' rather than 'reduction' i.e., reductions are expressed with negative values'. The 'adjusted mean' is shown as 'mean'.
