Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

As a third-generation dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (CCB), Amlodipine is mainly used in a single therapy or combined therapy for hypertension or angina.

Edema, one of the most common side effects of dihydropyridine CCB formulations, may lead to drug control or discontinuation of drugs.

This clinical study intends to assess the safety and efficacy of S-amlodipine, which is assessed to be superior to Amlodipine in the aspects of antihypertensive effect and side effects, in edema of patients with essential hypertension.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

1. Clinical Study Design

\- In this clinical study, Part 1 is conducted as a preliminary study on 10 subjects at a single center, and based on the results of Part 1, the sponsor and the principal investigator determine whether to proceed with Part 2. With Part 2 as the multicenter main study conducted on the remaining 70 subjects, 80 subjects in total have been planned for Part 1 and Part 2.
2. Interim analysis

\- The interim analysis is conducted when the study on 10 subjects at a Part 1 single center has been completed; the analysis is made on all endpoints planned for this clinical study.
3. Clinical study methods - During screening, subjects who have voluntarily signed the Informed Consent Form are tested for eligibility to this clinical study.

After a wash-out period of at least two weeks, subjects who satisfy the inclusion/exclusion criteria are randomly assigned to two groups (S-amlodipine group, Amlodipine group). Thereafter, the subjects are enrolled and orally administered with the investigational product once a day for 12 weeks, during which they receive a total of five visits for tests conducted for assessment of efficacy and safety.

(In case of confirmed eligibility without administration of contraindications, the wash-out period may be omitted and Visits 1 and 2 may be paid on the same day)

* Drugs that damage capillaries (e.g. interleukin-2, etc.);
* Glitazone-based drugs for diabetes
6. Those who show hypersensitive reaction\* to the investigational product;
7. Those who are taking the following drugs that may cause drug interactions:

* Drugs that may change the plasma concentration of amlodipine \[e.g. CYP3A4 inducers (e.g. rifampicin, St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum), etc.);
* Drugs that may increase the antihypertensive action \[e.g. other antihypertensives (calcium channel blockers, beta blockers, ACEi, ARB, alpha blockers, diuretics, nitroglycerin), tricyclic antidepressants (amitriptyline, desipramine, imipramine, nortriptyline, protriptyline, trimipramine, etc.), nitrate formulation, baclofen, pioglitazone, sildenafil, etc.\];
* Systemic corticosteroids (fluocinolone, triamcinolone), etc.: Local application allowed;
* Drugs that may increase the inhibitory action of muscle contraction \[e.g. antiarrhythmics (amiodarone, quinidine, etc.);
* Drugs that may cause ventricular spasms (e.g. intravenous administration of dantrolene and verapamil);
* Drugs that may increase the risk of hypotension \[e.g. CYP3A4 inhibitors (clarithromycin), etc.\]
8. Patients in a state of chronic inflammation requiring chronic anti-inflammatory treatment;
