Condition(s) targeted: Hypertension
Intervention: Candesartan cilexetil (Drug); Hydrochlorothiazide (Drug); Candesartan/HCT 32/25 mg (Drug)
Phase: Phase 3
Status: Completed
Sponsored by: AstraZeneca Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s): Michael Klibaner, MD, Study Director, Affiliation: AstraZeneca Istvan Edes, MD, Principal Investigator, Affiliation: DEOEC Institute of Cardiology
Summary
The aim is to compare the blood pressure lowering effect of the combination of candesartan
cilexetil (candesartan) 32 mg and hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) 25 mg to that of candesartan 32
mg alone, HCT 25 mg alone and placebo in hypertensive adults.
Clinical Details
Official title: A Double-blind, Randomised, 4-arm Parallel Group, Multicentre, 8-week, Phase III Study to Assess the Antihypertensive Efficacy and Safety of the Combination of Candesartan Cilexetil (CC) 32 mg and Hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) 25 mg Compared With CC 32 mg, HCT 25 mg and Placebo in Hypertensive Adults
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment
Primary outcome: Change in Sitting Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) From Baseline to the End of the Study (From Baseline to 8 Weeks).Change in Sitting Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) From Baseline to the End of the Study (Baseline to 8 Weeks)
Secondary outcome: The Number of Patients With Controlled Sitting DBP and Sitting SBP in Each Treatment Group at the End of the StudyCompare Candesartan/HCT 32/25 mg to Its Components and to Placebo With Regard to Hypertension Control Rate at the End of the Study (Patients With Controlled Sitting SBP and Sitting DBP). To Describe Safety and Tolerability of the Study Treatments With Regard to Adverse Events Including Those That Lead to Treatment Discontinuation as Well as With Regard to Pulse Rate, Laboratory, Electrocardiographic and Physical Examination Findings. To Compare Treatment With Candesartan/HCT 32/25 mg to Each of Its Components With Regard to Change From Baseline to Week 8 in Standing DBP and Standing SBP. To Compare Candesartan/HCT 32/25 mg to Its Components and to Placebo With Regard to Sitting DBP Control Rate at the End of the Study (Patients With Controlled Sitting DBP Are Defined as Having a Sitting DBP <90 mmHg at the End of the Study). To Compare Candesartan/HCT 32/25 mg to Its Components and to Placebo With Regard to Sitting DBP Responder Rate (Decrease in Sitting DBP ≥10 mmHg From Baseline to the End of the Study or a Sitting DBP <90 mmHg at the End of the Study).
Eligibility

Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients will be eligible for enrolment into the study (Visit 1) if they fulfil all
of the following criteria:
