Effects of Aliskiren and Amlodipine on the Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) and Lipid/Carbohydrate Metabolism in Obese Patients With Hypertension
Part 1: An Open Label Pilot Study to Determine Interstitial and Tissue Concentrations of Aliskiren and Effects on the Renin- Angiotensin System (RAS) in Fat and Skeletal Muscle of Hypertensive Patients With Abdominal Obesity. Part 2: A Randomized, Double Blind, 12-weeks Parallel Group Study to Compare Effects of Aliskiren 300 mg and Amlodipine 5 mg on the RAS and Lipid/Carbohydrate Metabolism in Fat and Skeletal Muscle of Hypertensive Patients With Abdominal Obesity
Part 1 determined: aliskiren, amlodipine and angiotensin II concentrations in interstitial fluid of fat and skeletal muscle; aliskiren and angiotensin II concentrations, and renin activity and concentration in fat and skeletal muscle tissues (biopsies); aliskiren, amlodipine and angiotensin II concentrations, and renin activity and concentration in plasma.
Part 2 investigated the potential for aliskiren to modulate renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) activity, and lipid/carbohydrate metabolism in adipose and skeletal muscle tissue in obese patients with hypertension in comparison to amlodipine.

Experimental: Aliskiren
Part 1: After a 1-2 weeks initial washout period, all eligible patients underwent a two week placebo run-in phase (period 1) consisting of treatment with one tablet of placebo to aliskiren once daily (o.d.). This was followed by a 4 week treatment phase (period 2) consisting of treatment with 300 mg aliskiren o.d.. Part 2: Eligible randomized patients in this arm received aliskiren 300 mg tablet o.d. and amlodipine placebo capsule o.d. for 12 weeks. |
300 mg tablet once daily
Other Names:
Matching placebo of aliskiren 300 mg tablet
Matching placebo of amlodipine 5 mg capsule
|
Active Comparator: Amlodipine
Part 1: After aliskiren treatment (period 2), each patient was entered into a second washout period (4 weeks) during which blood pressure was required to be ≤ 140/90 mmHg. If blood pressure exceeded 140/90 mmHg on two consecutive days (home monitoring) and was confirmed at the study center, the patient was entered into the amlodipine treatment period (period 3). In period 3, all patients received 5 mg amlodipine o.d.. The length of the amlodipine period varied from 4 to 7 weeks. Part 2: Eligible patients randomized to part 2 received amlodipine 5 mg o.d. and aliskiren placebo for 12 weeks |
