Condition(s) targeted: Hypertension

Intervention: Valsartan (Drug); Enalapril (Drug)

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Novartis Pharmaceuticals, Study Director, Affiliation: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

Summary

The purpose of this 12-week active controlled trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of valsartan 80/160/320 mg (weight stratified) compared with enalapril 10/20/40 mg (weight

stratified) on sitting systolic blood pressure (SSBP) in 6 - 17 year old children with

hypertension (SSBP ≥ 95th percentile for age gender and height).

Clinical Details

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel-group, Evaluation of 12 Weeks of Valsartan Compared to Enalapril on Sitting Systolic Blood Pressure in Children 6 to 17 Years of Age With Hypertension

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Change From Baseline in Mean Sitting Systolic Blood Pressure (MSSBP)

Secondary outcome:

Change From Baseline in Mean Sitting Diastolic Blood Pressure (MSDBP)

Decrease in MSSBP to < 95th Percentile for Age, Gender and Height

Change From Baseline in Mean Ambulatory Systolic Blood Pressure (ASBP) and Mean Ambulatory Diastolic Blood Pressure (ADBP) Over 24 Hours in Subset of Patients

Eligibility

Minimum age: 6 Years. Maximum age: 17 Years. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Male or female, ages 6-17, with a documented history of hypertension

- Must be able to swallow a pill

- Must be ≥ 18 kg or ≤160 kg

- MSSBP (mean of 3 measurements) must be ≥ 95th percentile, for age, gender and height,

at Visit 2 (randomization), by office blood pressure measurement

- Patients who are eligible and able to participate in the study and whose

parent(s)/guardian(s) consent in writing (written informed consent) to their doing so after the purpose and nature of the investigation has been clearly explained to them. (An assent will be required for some patients depending upon their age and local requirements regarding assents) Exclusion Criteria:

- Renal artery stenosis

- Current diagnosis of heart failure (NYHA Class II-IV).

- MSSBP ≥ 25% above the 95th percentile

- Second or third degree heart block without a pacemaker.
