Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Open label oral vasodilator treatment with dose adjusted according to blood pressure and patient tolerance. Perendopril (2 to 8mg daily) candesartan (4 to 32 mg daily)and/or amlodipine (2.5 to 10mg daily). Either one or a combination of these treatments will be administered to achieve a reduction in blood pressure and adjusted according to tolerance and blood pressure, and continued for one year
Intervention code [1] 256983 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
Usual care with treatment of blood pressure as clinically indicated. There is no washout between treatmetnts.
Control group
Active

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Randomisation would follow the baseline assessment, by telephone contact to the independent study statistician. subjects would be allocated to vasodilator treatment for one year followed by usual care for one year or vice verse.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
randomisation table generated by computer software
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
