Brief Summary:
The creole study is a A Multi-centre, multinational, randomised single-blind, parallel group, three-armed superiority trial which is aimed at comparing the efficacy of three "free" combinations of two anti-hypertensive agents on 24 hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure (ASBP) in black African hypertensive patients.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Hypertension Drug: Perindopril plus Amlodipine Drug: Perindopril plus Hydrochlorothiazide Drug: Amlodipine plus Hydrochlorothiazide Phase 4

Detailed Description:

The CREOLE trial will be performed at ten investigational sites in six countries in Sub-Saharan Africa which include Cameroun, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa and Uganda. Subjects will be randomised to one of three treatments which are Perindopril plus Amlodipine or Perindopril plus Hydrochlorothiazide or Amlodipine plus Hydrochlorothiazide.Patients will commence treatment at a starting dose of Amlodipine plus Hydrochlorothiazide 5/12.5 mg or Amlodipine plus Perindopril 5/4 mg or Perindopril/Hydrochlorothiazide 4/12.5 mg. These doses will increase at the two months visit, to Amlodipine/Hydrochlorothiazide 10/25 mg or AmlodipinePperindopril 10/8mg or Perindopril/Hydrochlorothiazide 8/25 mg.

The patients will have ambulatory blood pressure monitoring at randomization and at six months and office blood pressure measurements at randomization and at two-month, 4-month and six-month visits.The overall aim is to discover the best combination of front-line anti-hypertensive medications for black patients residing in sub-Saharan Africa.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Ambulatory blood pressure [ Time Frame: six months ]
    Change in ambulatory systolic blood pressure measurement from baseline to 6 months from will be determined.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Assessment of ambulatory diastolic blood pressure [ Time Frame: six months ]
    Change in 24 hour ambulatory diastolic blood pressure between randomisation and 6 months

  2. Clinic systolic and diastolic blood pressure [ Time Frame: Six months ]
    Change in clinic systolic and diastolic blood pressure will be difference in values between randomisation and 6 months

  3. Night time and day time blood pressure [ Time Frame: Six months ]
    Change in daytime and night time blood pressure

  4. Blood pressure control [ Time Frame: Six months ]
    change in BP variability measured will be measured by ambulatory blood pressure

  5. Blood pressure control [ Time Frame: Two months and six months ]
    Proportion of patients who achieve BP control (defined as clinic BP < 140/90 mmHg) after 6 months

  6. Response to study medications [ Time Frame: Two months and six months ]
    Proportion of "responders" (defined as clinic BP reduction > 20mmHg SBP and >10 mmHg DBP) from randomisation to 6 months

  7. Change in values of micro- and macro-albuminuria [ Time Frame: Six months ]
    Change in micro- and macro-albuminuria will be measured from randomisation to 6 months

  8. Fasting blood sugar variation [ Time Frame: Six months ]
    Change in fasting blood sugar which will be from randomisation to 6 months

  9. Fasting lipid profile variation [ Time Frame: Six months ]
    Change in fasting lipid profile between from randomisation to 6 months
