An Examination of the Blood Pressure Lowering Ability and Safety of Olmesartan Medoxomil in Elderly Patients With Hypertension

September 15, 2009 updated by: Daiichi Sankyo, Inc.

A Prospective, Open Label, Single Arm Study to Evaluation the Safety and Efficacy of an Olmesartan Medoxomil Based Treatment Regimen in Elderly Patients With Hypertension

This 14 week study will examine the ability of olmesartan medoxomil to lower the blood pressure of patients 65 years of age or older with high blood pressure. The medication being tested has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of high blood pressure.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

65 years and older (Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Mean 24-hour Ambulatory Systolic Blood Pressure After 12 Weeks of Active Treatment
Time Frame: baseline to 12 weeks
All participants started the treatment arm with 20 mg olmesartan medoxomil (Olm). If their blood pressure was not controlled, participants were titrated at 3-week intervals to: Olm 40 mg, then, if needed Olm 40 mg + hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 12.5 mg, then, if needed Olm 40 mg + HCTZ 25 mg This outcome measure included all participants at the end of the 12-week treatment period regardless of whether or not they were titrated. They had to have both baseline and 12-week ambulatory blood pressure measurements.
baseline to 12 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
