A Prospective, Multicenter, Open-label, Single-arm Interventional Study of Bisoprolol (Nerkardou - Nerhadou International) 5 and 10 mg Oral Dissolvable Film (ODF) Treatment in Egyptian Patients With Essential Hypertension

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: Phase 4
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 406 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Genuine Research Center, Egypt · Industry
• Sex: All
• Age: 21 Years – 65 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The trial is designed to assess the safety and investigation of the efficacy of a single oral dose of bisoprolol (Nerkardou - Nerhadou) oral dissolvable film (ODF) 5 \& 10 mg, and patients' compliance in the treatment of essential hypertension. This is a Phase IV, open-label, single-arm, prospective trial where subjects will receive: 1. Bisoprolol (Nerkardou) at an initial dose of 5 (mg) milligrams once daily for 2 weeks. 2. If the blood pressure would be greater than or equal to 130/80 mmHg after 2 weeks, then the dose will be titrated to 10 mg once daily (non-responders). Dose-Titration will be done at any follow-up visit based on the response. 3. The total duration of study treatment will be 12 weeks ±2 days, and the total sample size of the study will be 406 participants.

Detailed description

The trial is designed to assess the safety and investigation of the efficacy of a single oral dose of bisoprolol (Nerkardou - Nerhadou) oral dissolvable film (ODF) 5 \& 10 mg \& patients' compliance in the treatment of essential hypertension. This is a Phase IV, open-label, single-arm, prospective trial where subjects will receive: The subject will initially administer once daily 5 mg bisoprolol (Nerkardou) oral dissolvable film (ODF) for 2 weeks. After the assessment of the subject being a responder, study medication will be maintained till week 12. Response will be assessed for each patient every 2 weeks and dose-titration will be done based on the response and PI decision at any visit. Then, for responders, once daily 5 mg bisoprolol (Nerkardou) oral dissolvable film (ODF will be administered for the subsequent 2 weeks. For non-responders once daily 10 mg bisoprolol (Nerkardou) oral dissolvable film (ODF) will be administered for the subsequent 2 weeks. For those who are still not responding to the higher dose will be shifted to other alternatives according to their merit and they will be included to intention to treat. A responder is defined by BP response, which is represented in the form of a ≥20 mmHg decreases in sitting through SBP and a ≥10 mmHg decreases in sitting through DBP, or a sitting through SBP of \<130 mmHg and a sitting through DBP of \<80 mmHg. The total duration of study treatment will be 12 week (±2days). (Flow chart of trail design Appendix III) and the total sample size of the study will be 406 participants. The trial has a duration of approximately 14 weeks, including: 1. Screening (assessments to determine eligibility for entry into the trial, occurring within 14 days to day 1 before treatment initiation (week -2) to (week 0). 2. Treatment duration (5 mg or 10 mg bisoprolol (Nerkardou) based on the response) (duration of 12 weeks); from Day 1 (week 1) to the end of day 84 ±2days (week 12 ±2days) 3. Premature withdrawal/ Early Discontinuation
