Study summary

The purpose of this extension study is to collect additional safety and efficacy on QCZ484 for hypertensive patients who successfully completed the parent study, CQCZ484A12201 or additional QCZ484 studies as specified in the respective parent study protocols.

Read the detailed description

This is a single arm, multicenter, OLE study designed to evaluate long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of QCZ484, administered SC, once Q6M, in patients with HTN, who have successfully completed treatment period in the parent studies of the QCZ484 HTN program.

Participants at sites from the parent study will be offered the option to enroll in this extension study at the Month 12 visit upon successful completion of the parent study treatment.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of participants with AEs

    Number of participants with Adverse events (AEs), including abnormal safety laboratory parameters and vital signs

    Time frame: Up to 66 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in SBP and DBP assessed by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring

    Change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) from Baseline (parent study) and from Day 1 of the OLE and at Months 12 and so on (every 12 months) assessed by assessed by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) - applicable only for the subgroup of participants who had ABPM in the parent study

    Time frame: Baseline (parent study), Day 1 (OLE study) and up to month 60 (OLE study)

  2. Change in SBP and DBP assessed by office blood pressure measurement

    Change in SBP and DBP from Baseline (parent study) and from Day 1 of the OLE and at Months 6, 12 and so on (Q6M) assessed by assessed by office blood pressure measurement (OBPM)

    Time frame: Baseline (parent study), Day 1 (OLE study) and up to month 66 (OLE study)
