Information source: Boehringer Ingelheim
ClinicalTrials.gov processed this data on August 23, 2015 Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.
Condition(s) targeted: Hypertension; Metabolic Syndrome X
Intervention: Micardis (Drug); Amlodipine (Drug); Abdominal biopsy (Procedure)
Phase: Phase 4
Status: Completed
Sponsored by: Boehringer Ingelheim Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s): Boehringer Ingelheim, Study Chair, Affiliation: Boehringer Ingelheim
Summary
The objective of the study is to compare PPAR activities (increase of adiponectin level)
between MICARDIS and amlodipine after 6 weeks of treatment in hypertensive patients with
metabolic syndrome. Moreover, this study will compare serum level of inflammatory markers of
the metabolic syndrome after 6 weeks of treatment.
An ancillary study performed in one center will assess adipocyte differentiation (PPAR gamma
stimulation) in 30 subjects (15 per arm).
Clinical Details
Official title: A Phase IV Study, Prospective, Randomised, Open Label, Blinded Endpoint, Parallel Group, 9 Weeks of Comparison Between Oral Administration of Telmisartan Tablet (80mg Once Daily) and Amlodipine Tablet (10 mg Once Daily) on Biological PPAR Gamma Activities in Non Controlled Hypertensive Male Patients With Metabolic Syndrome
Study design: Primary Purpose: Treatment
Primary outcome: Comparison of the serum adiponectin level at the end of study (6 weeks) between the two groups.
Secondary outcome: Comparison of serum level of TNF alpha, IL-6, leptine, hsCRP, TG, HDL and blood pressure control between two groups. Adipocyte differentiation in 30 patients (PPAR gamma stimulation) between two groups.
