Study description
This study was done to test the combination of 2 drugs – atorvastatin and perindopril in a single capsule (called S05167) in patients with high blood pressure and dyslipidaemia.
High blood pressure is a common health condition that may cause or increase the risk of health problems. Doctors make the diagnosis by measuring blood pressure. When blood pressure is measured, two values are recorded. The higher value is called systolic blood pressure (SBP). The lower value is called diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Blood pressure is written as SBP/DBP. For example, 120/80 mmHg (millimetres of mercury).
Dyslipidaemia is a condition in some of the lipids (fats) in the blood are too high. Doctors make the diagnosis by measuring lipids such as cholesterol in the blood.
Patients need different drugs to treat their high blood pressure and high cholesterol. When this happens, patients may forget to take one of them or may dislike taking several pills. For these reasons, the researchers have developed the study drug which contains both treatments in one capsule.
The study drug is a capsule containing 2 drugs: atorvastatin and perindopril. Both these drugs are already approved and marketed.
Perindopril lowers the blood pressure by widening the blood vessels. This makes it easier for the heart to pump the blood through them.
Atorvastatin lowers the cholesterol in the blood by blocking a step in the production of cholesterol in the body.
The main goals of this study were to test:
- If S05167 works better than atorvastatin alone in lowering high systolic blood pressure (SBP).
- If S05167 works better than perindopril alone in lowering cholesterol levels.
- Atorvastatin/Perindopril
- Atorvastatin
- Perindopril

or
-
- For participants who had not taken any medication for high blood pressure:
- The SBP was between 150 and 160 mmHg.
- The DBP was between 90 and 100 mmHg.
- For participants who had not taken any medication for high blood pressure:
- Have high cholesterol levels: LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol (called “bad” cholesterol) between 110 milligrams (mg) per deciliter (mg/dL) and 190 mg/dL.
Participants could not take part in the study if they:
- Were taking more than one drug for high blood pressure or to lower fat levels in the body.
- Had liver or kidney disease.
How is the study designed?
Participants received S05167 (one single capsule of a combination of atorvastatin 40 mg and perindopril 10 mg) orally once daily for 8 weeks.
Participants received Atorvastatin as a capsule at a dose of 40 mg orally once daily for 8 weeks.
Participants received Perindopril as a capsule at a dose of 10 mg orally once daily for 8 weeks.
