Sponsor:	Novartis
Collaborator:	Pfizer
Information provided by:	Novartis
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00171366

Purpose

Comparison of the safety and efficacy of the combination of amlodipine/Benazepril to amlodipine monotherapy in patients with non-essential hypertension, not controlled on amlodipine alone.

Condition	Intervention	Phase
Hypertension	Drug: amlodipine/benazepril	Phase III

Study Type:	Interventional
Study Design:	Treatment, Randomized, Double-Blind, Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title:	A Multicenter, Group Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Amlodipine and Benazepril Administered in Combination Compared to Amlodipine Monotherapy in Hypertensive Patients Not Adequately Controlled With Amlodipine Alone

Further study details as provided by Novartis:

Primary Outcome Measures:

Change from baseline in mean sitting diastolic blood pressure at week 6

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Change from baseline in mean sitting systolic blood pressure at week 6
Change from week 2 in mean sitting diastolic and systolic blood pressure at week 6
Diastolic response rate at week 6. Patients were considered responders if they had a mean sitting diastolic blood pressure of < 90 mmHg or a >= 10 mm Hg decrease compared to baseline.
Change from baseline in 24 hour diastolic and systolic blood pressure at week 6
Change from baseline in 24 hour diastolic and systolic blood pressure at peak which is defined as the lowest hourly blood pressure mean and the average of the hourly means from 4 to 6 hours post dose at week 6

Estimated Enrollment:	726
Study Start Date:	July 2004

Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:	18 Years and older
