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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To determine whether the Olmesartan (OLM) 20-40 mg + Amlodipine (AML) 5-10 mg combination was at least as effective as the Perindopril (PER) 4-8 mg + Amlodipine 5-10 mg combination in reducing office diastolic blood pressure after 24 weeks of treatment, at 48 hours from last administration (missed dose).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines and local law requirements.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Total recruitment period (first patient in to last patient in): about 152 weeks (03/12/2010-31/10/2013).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    The pre-assignment period was a run-in period, open-label, during which the eligible patients took one Amlodipine 5 mg tablet every day for 7 or 14 days (for 1 or 2 weeks), depending on previous subject’s treatment(s).

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to have started the pre-assignment period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: All the 335 patients screened for the study entered a pre-randomization run-in period of 7-14 days with Amlodipine 5 mg once a day (pre-assignment period). Out of these 335 subjects, 260 were randomized to one of the two study treatments, hence entering in baseline period (=period 1) population.

    Blinding implementation details
    The “double-dummy” technique with matching placebo guaranteed the maintenance of the clinical study double-blind conditions. No blinding was used during the run-in period, when all patients received amlodipine 5mg tablet once-a-day.

In patients not normalised by treatment after 12 weeks the dose of drug treatment was up-titrated to Olmesartan 40 mg + Amlodipine 5 mg once-daily. In patients not yet normalised after additional 6 weeks of treatment (week 18) the dose of drug treatment was further up-titrated to Olmesartan 40 mg + Amlodipine 10 mg once-daily. At visit 6a patients received placebo treatment (one capsule and one tablet) in a single blind for 1 day.
