Phase II Clinical Trial Protocol — Cardizem XR for Hypertension Management

Protocol ID: CDZ-HTN-2026-001 | Version: 2.0 | Date: 2026-02-01 Sponsor: Valeant Pharmaceuticals | Phase: II | IND Number: 123456

Study Synopsis

Item Detail
Title A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of Cardizem XR in Stage 1 Hypertension
Population Adults aged 30-70 with Stage 1 hypertension (SBP 130-139 mmHg)
Design 2-arm, parallel group, 1:1 randomization
Treatment Cardizem XR 180 mg QD vs. placebo for 12 weeks
Primary Endpoint Change from baseline in mean 24-hour ambulatory SBP at Week 12
Sample Size 220 subjects (110 per arm)

Background & Rationale

Stage 1 hypertension affects approximately 46% of US adults and is a leading modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Cardizem XR (diltiazem extended-release) is a calcium channel blocker with established efficacy in moderate-to-severe hypertension. This trial evaluates its benefit-risk profile in the Stage 1 population where lifestyle modification alone is often insufficient.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  1. Male or female, aged 30-70 years
  2. Mean seated SBP 130-139 mmHg at screening and baseline visits
  3. Willing to maintain current diet and exercise regimen for study duration
  4. Able to provide written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

  1. Secondary hypertension of any etiology
  2. eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73m²
  3. Current use of any antihypertensive medication (2-week washout required)
  4. Known hypersensitivity to diltiazem or dihydropyridine CCBs

Safety Reporting

All serious adverse events must be reported to the Sponsor within 24 hours. An independent Data Safety Monitoring Board will conduct interim reviews after 50% enrollment. Adverse events are graded per CTCAE v5.0.
