PROTECTION Programme

The PROTECTION® study programme (Programme of Research tO show Telmisartan End-organ proteCTION) consisted of 10 trials with 6,875 patients from 32 countries.
The clinical studies included in the programme were evaluating the clinical efficacy of Pritor®/Kinzal® on blood pressure control in two different kinds of populations in term of cardiometabolic risk:

  • Patients in at-risk populations, such as the elderly, isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) patients or overweight/obese hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes.
  • Patients with various renal pathologies, such as endothelial dysfunction, microalbuminuria or mild to moderate overt nephropathy.

In at-risk patient populations, the PROTECTION® programme showed that Pritor®/Kinzal® may induce:

  • Sustained BP lowering throughout the critical morning period where CV risk is highest
  • Renoprotective effects at every stage of the renal continuum
During the PROTECTION® programme, Pritor®/Kinzal® met and sometimes exceeded the gold standards (ACEIs and other ARBs). Pritor®/Kinzal® was shown to be efficient in:
  • Sustained BP reduction (PRISMA I and II)
  • Elderly population
  • Diabetes and Renal protection
  • Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
