China Stroke Primary Prevention Trial 2 for Participants With Hypertension and MTHFR 677 TT Genotype

Summary

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, triple-dummy, controlled trial in 24,000 Chinese men and women with hypertension and MTHFR 677 TT genotype. The study participants will be randomized to one of the three treatment groups: Group A: amlodipine tablet (5mg), taken orally, once daily, serving as active comparator. Group B: amlodipine folic acid 5.8mg tablet (5mg amlodipine and 0.8mg folic acid), taken orally, once daily. Group C: amlodipine folic acid 5.8mg tablet plus 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF, 0.4mg), taken orally, once daily. The primary endpoint is first ischemic stroke.
