Systolic Pressure Efficacy and Safety Trial of Alagebrium (SPECTRA)
February 5, 2010 updated by: Synvista Therapeutics, Inc
Effect of ALT-711 in Combination With Fixed-Dose Hydrochlorothiazide Therapy on Systolic Blood Pressure in Hypertensive Patients
This study comprises a 3- to 6-week hydrochlorothiazide run in phase, followed by a 12 week double-blind treatment phase, followed by a 2 week single-blind follow-up hydrochlorothiazide treatment phase.
The combined total duration of patient participation is approximately 17-20 weeks.
Four double-blind treatment groups approximately equal in size (98) will comprise the study population: placebo or various alagebrium dose groups (10, 50, or 150 mg/day).
