Add-on to Micamlo BP Trial

October 6, 2016 updated by: Boehringer Ingelheim

An Eight-week Randomised Double-blind Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Telmisartan 80 mg and Amlodipine 5 mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg vs. Telmisartan 80 mg and Amlodipine 5 mg in Patients With Hypertension Who Fail to Respond Adequately to Treatment With Telmisartan 80 mg and Amlodipine 5 mg

This is a multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, active-controlled, parallel-group comparative trial to compare the fixed dose combination (FDC) of telmisartan 80 mg +hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg and amlodipine 5 mg (T80/A5/H12.5 mg) to telmisartan 80 mg+ amlodipine 5 mg (T80/A5 mg) in blood pressure lowering effect at week 8, the end of the double-blind period in essential hypertensive patients who fail to respond adequately to telmisartan 80 mg+ amlodipine 5 mg. Patients are assigned to one of the two groups after a 6-week open-label run-in period taking T80/A5 mg.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Mean Seated DBP at Trough After 8 Weeks of the Double-blind Period.
Time Frame: baseline and week 8
Change from baseline in mean seated diastolic blood pressure (DBP) at trough after 8 weeks of the double-blind period. After patients had rested in a seated position for approximately 5 minutes, blood pressure was measured 3 times at approximately 2-minute intervals. The mean of the 3 measurements are used as endpoints.
baseline and week 8

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Mean Seated SBP at Trough After 8 Weeks of the Double-blind Period.
Time Frame: baseline and week 8
Change from baseline in mean seated systolic blood pressure (SBP) at trough after 8 weeks of the double-blind period. After patients had rested in a seated position for approximately 5 minutes, blood pressure was measured 3 times at approximately 2-minute intervals. The mean of the 3 measurements are used as endpoints.
baseline and week 8
The Proportion of Patients With DBP<90 mmHg and SBP<140 mmHg as Seated Blood Pressure at Trough After 8 Weeks of the Double-blind Period
Time Frame: baseline and week 8
Patients with trough seated DBP =>90 mmHg or trough seated SBP >=140 mmHg at baseline were analysed.
baseline and week 8
