Effects of Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker Compared With Diuretics in High-risk Hypertensive Patients (CHIEF)

August 9, 2012 updated by: Ma Liyuan, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Fuwai Hospital

Phase 4 Study of Effects of ARB Compared With Diuretics in Hypertension Patients With High Cardiovascular Risks

The aim of the study is to investigate the optimized treatment strategy of hypertension, so as to make more patients to reach the blood pressure goals and to reduce cardio-cerebrovascular events. Objective and Methods: Patients are eligible for inclusion in the study if they are essential hypertension, 50-79 years of age with at least one cardiovascular risk factor and sign the informed consent forms. This project is a multi-centre, prospective randomized,，openlabel blind-endpoint evaluation controlled (PROBE) trial. 12000 patients will be randomly assigned to either of low-dose Amlodipine+Telmisartan group or Amlodipine+ diuretics group. Among those patients with serum cholesterol between 4.0-6.1mmol/L, they will be also randomized into small dose of statin-based regimen or standard management regimen; Patients will also randomly assigned to intensive lifestyle intervention group or standard intervention group according to the community area where the patients in.

Study Overview

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study is aimed to observe the main outcome (stroke, myocardial infarction and death from cardiovascular disease) differences between different groups.

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. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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
Time Frame
The primary study outcomes are composite of non-fatal stroke, non-fatal myocardial infarction and cardiovascular death.
Time Frame: 3-4 years
3-4 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

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.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
All cardiovascular events；all-cause death, hospitalization for angina pectoris, coronary revascularization, aortic dissection, cerebrovascular disease, heart failure, renal insufficiency, tumor, new onset of atrial fibrillation and diabetes mellitus
