About this trial

The Polypill Approach for Multiple Cardiovascular Risk Factors (PACIF) trial is a multicenter randomized controlled trial that will test the effectiveness and safety of a fixed-dose combination strategy for integrated management of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes among adults aged 50 to 75 years in China. The trial will evaluate whether a simplified regimen combining blood pressure-lowering, lipid-lowering, and glucose-lowering therapy improves the 10-year cardiovascular disease risk score at phase 1. Participants will be followed to determine whether the fixed-dose combination strategy reduces major cardiovascular events and cognitive function compared with usual care at phase 2.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

  • Fixed-Dose Combination Strategy

    Drug

    Participants assigned to the intervention group will receive a fixed-dose combination strategy for integrated control of blood pressure, lipid, and glucose. Six predefined medication regimens will be used, differing in antihypertensive intensity and rosuvastatin dose. The antihypertensive component will consist of olmesartan medoxomil/amlodipine at 10/2.5 mg or 20/5 mg, with indapamide 2.5 mg added if needed, and will be titrated toward a blood pressure target of \<130/80 mm Hg according to prespecified protocol rules. The lipid-lowering component will be initiated with rosuvastatin 10 mg plus ezetimibe 10 mg. If suspected statin-associated adverse effects or statin intolerance occur, the rosuvastatin dose may be reduced from 10 mg to 5 mg according to prespecified protocol rules. The glucose-lowering component will consist of dapagliflozin at a fixed dose of 10 mg. Treatment will be selected and adjusted according to treatment targets, tolerability, and safety.
