CLINICAL TRIALS PROFILE FOR AMILORIDE HYDROCHLORIDE; HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE

All Clinical Trials for AMILORIDE HYDROCHLORIDE; HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE

Trial ID	Title	Status	Sponsor	Phase	Start Date	Summary
NCT00007592 ↗	Hypertension Screening and Treatment Program	Completed	US Department of Veterans Affairs		1989-06-01	Hypertension is one of the most common medical problems in the United States and in the VA health care system. It has been well-documented that hypertension can be effectively treated. However, there remain important unresolved clinical questions in the area of antihypertensive treatment. For example, how much is mortality affected by visit compliance, blood pressure control and type of antihypertensive agent? Or, are some regimens associated with more morbidity than others? Or, are there inexpensive regimens that are as effective as more expensive regimens? The amount of data that is available from this demonstration project (currently 6,100 patients) will help address these questions. The answers to these questions should result in better care for veterans with hypertension.

NCT00224549 ↗	PHARES Study: Management of Resistant Hypertension	Completed	Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris	Phase 4	2005-04-01	The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of two different treatment regimens for treating resistant hypertension previously uncontrolled with at least 3 antihypertensive treatments. The study hypothesis is that these two regimens (one based on increasing diuretics and the other based on increasing renin angiotensin system blockage) may not differ in terms of efficacy.
NCT00394394 ↗	Antihypertensive Effectiveness of the Associations of Hydrochlorothiazide and Amiloride and Hydrochlorothiazide and Enalapril	Completed	Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre	Phase 2	2005-02-01	The majority of hypertensive patients require antihypertensive associations to control their blood pressure. Most of clinical trials don't compare different associations using Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg as the standard initial therapy and compare the associations using doses that are not equivalent. This randomized trial where patients and investigators are blinded and compares the effectiveness two associations: Hydrochlorothiazide and Amiloride and Hydrochlorothiazide and Enalapril.
