Fixed-Dose Combination of Perindopril/Amlodipine (Amlessa®) and Fixed-Dose Combination of Perindopril/Indapamide /Amlodipine (Co-Amlessa®) - Contribution to Management in Newly Diagnosed and Uncontrolled Hypertensive Patients

Detailed Summary

PRECIOUS Study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of therapy with fixed-dose combination (FDC) of perindopril/amlodipine (Amlessa®) and FDC of perindopril/indapamide/amlodipine (Co-Amlessa®) on blood pressure reduction in both previously untreated patients and patients with previous antihypertensive therapy. Adult patients with AH who are treatment-naïve with systolic blood pressure (SBP) from 150 mmHg or higher AND/OR diastolic blood pressure (DBP) from 95 mmHg or higher (SBP ≥ 150 mm AND/OR DBP ≥ 90 mmHg for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus ) and uncontrolled patients on mono, dual or triple antihypertensive therapy with systolic blood pressure (SBP) from 140 mmHg or higher AND/OR diastolic blood pressure (DBP) from 90 mmHg or higher (SBP ≥ 140 AND/OR DBP ≥ 85 mmHg for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus) will be invited to participate in this study. During 16-week trial, seven study visits are planned. At first study visit physical examination, medical history, BP measurement, electrocardiogram (ECG), laboratory analysis and of Ambulatory Blood Pressure Measurement (ABPM) will be performed. Based on their previous antihypertensive therapy, patients will receive to treatment with either Amlessa® or Co-Amlessa® for the duration of 16 weeks and blood pressure measurements, laboratory investigations and patient interviews will be performed at study follow-up visits to assess the treatment efficacy (proportion of patients reaching normal office blood pressure after 16 weeks of treatment) and safety.
