Study of Efficacy and Safety of LCZ696/Amlodipine in Grade 1 and 2 Hypertension Patients Uncontrolled by LCZ696 Monotherapy
Japan718 participantsStarted 2024-04-08
Plain-language summary
This CLAZ696B11302 study is composed of two parts; the Core part including double-blind period, and the open-label extension (OLE) part which is an open-label extension of the Core part.
The purpose of the Core part is to demonstrate that LCZ696 (LCZ) when used in combination with amlodipine (AML), denoted as LCZ/AML, will provide greater blood pressure lowering benefit compared to LCZ monotherapy in patients with grade 1 and 2 hypertension not adequately controlled with LCZ monotherapy. The purpose of the OLE part is to assess the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of the treatment with LCZ/AML.

Inclusion criteria
. Untreated patients \[either newly diagnosed with essential hypertension or those with a history of hypertension but have not been taking any antihypertensive drugs for 4 weeks prior to screening visit (Visit Scr)\] must have a msSBP of ≥ 150 mmHg and \< 180 mmHg at both screening (Visit Scr) and run-in visit (Visit Run-in)
. Pretreated patients (taking antihypertensive drugs within 4 weeks prior to screening visit (Visit Scr)) must have msSBP \< 180 mmHg at screening visit (Visit Scr), and msSBP ≥ 150 mmHg and \< 180 mmHg at run-in visit (Visit Run-in)
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
