Trial Outcomes & Findings for MK-0954E Phase III Long-Term Study in Participants With Hypertension (MK-0954E-356) (NCT NCT01299376)

NCT ID: NCT01299376

Last Updated: 2018-08-22

Results Overview

Sitting diastolic blood pressure was measured by automated sphygmomanometer pre-dose on Day 1 (baseline) and at 24 ± 2 hours after the last study drug administration at Week 8. The difference between the baseline and Week 8 assessments was calculated and summarized by treatment arm.

Participant Flow

All participants received single-blind losartan 50 mg (L50)/hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg (H12.5) and placebo for L50/H12.5/amlodipine 5 mg (A5) during 8-week Filter Period. A total of 510 entered the Filter Period and 286 were randomly assigned to 1 of the 2 treatment arms for the Double-blind Treatment Period.

An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which was temporally associated with the use of the product, was also an AE. The percentage of participants who experienced at least 1 AE during the 8-week double-blind treatment period were summarized by study drug received.
