Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The aim of this trial is to confirm the antihypertensive effect of Lorista® tablets (50 mg of losartan), Lorista® H tablets (fixed dose combination of 50 mg of losartan and 12,5 mg of hydrochlorothiazide) and Lorista® HD (fixed dose combination of 100 mg of losartan and 25 mg of hydrochlorothiazide) in patients with mild to moderate hypertension: • previously untreated or • those with hypertension unsuccessfully treated with monotherapy or combination of antihypertensive drugs (fixed dose or non-fixed dose combinations) or • in whom antihypertensive therapy needs to be changed due to adverse reactions experienced with previous antihypertensive therapy, and to establish the tolerance and the effect of therapy on the patient’s quality of life.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The patients were divided into two groups with regard to dosing. In the I. group of patients a starting dose was one tablet of Lorista®, after four weeks of treatment those patients, whose blood pressure did not respond properly (140/90 mmHg or less) continued the treatment with 1 tablet of Lorista® H. After eight weeks of treatment, those patients, whose blood pressure was not 140/90 mmHg or less, continued the treatment with 1 tablet of Lorista® plus 1 tablet of Lorista® H daily. After eleven weeks of treatment, those patients, whose blood pressure was not 140/90 mmHg or less, continued the treatment with one tablet of Lorista® HD daily. In the II. group of patients starting dose was one tablet of Lorista® H, after four weeks of treatment, those patients, whose blood pressure did not respond properly (140/90 mmHg or less), continued the treatment with 1 tablet of Lorista® plus 1 tablet of Lorista® H daily. After eight weeks of treatment, those patients, whose blood pressure was not 140/90 mmHg or less, continued the treatment with 1 tablet of Lorista® HD daily.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: In order to report statistical analysis it is required to define at least two comparison groups. This was one arm study. The following data were statistically processed: the largest and the smallest data, arithmetic mean of data with standard deviation of data and standard error of mean and the value of t variable in t-test. Patients prematurely discontinuing the trial due to adverse reactions were also included in the statistical analysis.
