Study information
Scientific title
Telmisartan Randomised Assessment Study in ACE Intolerant Subjects with Cardiovascular Disease
Acronym
TRANSCEND
Study hypothesis
This parallel trial to ISRCTN16228603 (ONgoing Telmisartan Alone or in combination with Ramipril Global Endpoint Trial = ONTARGET) is to determine in angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE-I) intolerant patients if telmisartan 80 mg daily is superior to placebo in reducing the composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, myocardial infacrtion (MI), stroke or hospitalisation for congestive heart failure (CHF).
