Background and study aims
Many people around the globe suffer from hypertension (high blood pressure). In fact, hypertension is one of the leading causes of illness and death in the world. Moreover, hypertension increases the risk of acute cardiovascular events such as stroke or myocardial infarction (heart attack). One of the main ways to control hypertension is medication. One such medication is telmisartan, which was extensively studied in clinical trials. Nevertheless, clinical trials involve certain groups of patients while the physician was under thorough control of telmisartan use. For that reason, the researchers aim to study telmisartan use in the routine practice of physicians to evaluate its effectiveness against hypertension in real-world conditions.

Who could participate?
Adults aged over 18 who have high blood pressure and have been prescribed telmisartan alone or in combination with hydrochlorothiazide/amlodipine before enrollment.

Wha did the study involve?
Patients are enrolled in the study when the physician decides to prescribe telmisartan or telmisartan with hydrochlorothiazide or telmisartan in combination with amlodipine. Participation in the study does not influence the investigator’s decision on treatment choice. After the start of the treatment, patients measure their blood pressure daily and complete diaries. Moreover, data on any adverse events are also collected in order to evaluate the safety of the treatments. Patients complete the diaries across a 12-week period that allows the investigators to monitor blood pressure changes in different circumstances.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Participants do not receive a direct benefit from this study as they are receiving treatment as usual. Risks include adverse events that could develop during the study participation.

Where is the study run from?
Myasnikov's Scientific Research Institute (Russia)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
November 2017 to April 2019

Scientific titleTelmisartan for the INitiation and maintenance of Antihypertensive treatment: a cross-sectional pharmacoepidemiology and prospective observational study in Russia
Study acronymTAINA
Study objectivesData from 2,000 individuals who start their drug therapy for arterial hypertension by taking telsartan or telsartan H in the therapeutically recommended dose range for 12 weeks will be used to examine the real-world effectiveness and safety of telsartan and telsartan H, especially taking into account that current guidelines reconfirm that diuretics, beta-blockers, calcium antagonists, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers are all suitable for the initiation and maintenance of antihypertensive treatment, either as monotherapy or in some combinations.
Ethics approval(s)Approved 15/12/2017, Independent interdisciplinary ethical committee (125468, Leningrandsky prospect, 51, Moscow, Russian Federation; +7 (0)9153463030; beresneva.sofia@gmail.com), ref: #20
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedArterial hypertension
InterventionData from 2,000 individuals who start their drug therapy for arterial hypertension by taking telsartan or telsartan H in the therapeutically recommended dose range for 12 weeks will be used to examine the effectiveness and safety of telsartan and telsartan H as monotherapy or in combination with hydrochlorothiazide/amlodipine in a real-world setting.

Patients are followed-up for 12 weeks after enrollment. During the course of the study data on self-measured blood pressure is obtained by physicians from patients. Additionally, patients fill in EQ-5D quality of life forms, and data on symptoms of hypertension and adverse events are collected.
Intervention typeDrug

5. Number of patients with controlled AH (continuous maintenance of target blood pressure according to 2013 ESC guidelines) at 12 weeks
6. Patients’ satisfaction with their treatment as measured by patient diary at baseline and the end of 12 weeks of telmisartan treatment
7. Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) measured at baseline and 12 weeks by:
7.1. SF-36 Health Survey summary
7.2. Likert scale score assessing the changes in patient's daily life
