Aliskiren, the active component of Tekturna ® Tablets, is an orally active, nonpeptide, potent renin inhibitor. Aliskiren is present in Tekturna Tablets as its hemifumarate salt.
Tekturna ® (aliskiren) is indicated for the treatment of hypertension. It may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents. Use with maximal doses of ACE inhibitors has not been adequately studied.

ARB alone in stage 2 hypertension is not well known. Hence, we performed an

Long-Term Safety and Tolerability of the Oral Direct Renin Inhibitor Aliskiren with Optional Add-On Hydrochlorothiazide in Patients with Hypertension: A Randomized, Open-Label, Parallel-Group, Multicentre, Dose-Escalation Study with an Extension Phase. [2011.10.13]BACKGROUND: Most patients with hypertension will require combination therapy with at least two agents from different antihypertensive classes to achieve blood pressure (BP) control. Thiazide diuretics, such as hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), are widely used in combination therapy. The volume reduction with these agents stimulates the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), making RAS inhibitors such as the direct renin inhibitor aliskiren a logical choice for combination therapy with HCTZ. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of the direct renin inhibitor aliskiren, with or without addition of the diuretic HCTZ... CONCLUSION: In patients with hypertension, long-term treatment with aliskiren, with or without add-on HCTZ, is well tolerated and provides effective BP lowering that is sustained over 12 months. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT00219037.
Aliskiren as add-on therapy in the treatment of hypertensive diabetic patients inadequately controlled with valsartan/HCT combination: a placebo-controlled study. [2011.10.01]BACKGROUND: Hypertension frequently coexists with diabetes mellitus, resulting in increased cardiovascular risk. Thus, BP control is crucial in decreasing morbidity and mortality in this difficult-to-treat patient population. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of aliskiren in hypertensive patients with diabetes not adequately responsive to the combination of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide (HCT)... CONCLUSION: The reductions in BP with aliskiren added to valsartan/HCT in this study were numerically greater compared with placebo added to valsartan/HCT, although not statistically significant. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00219102.
Effects of Aliskiren and Amlodipine on the Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) and Lipid/Carbohydrate Metabolism in Obese Patients With Hypertension [Terminated]
Part 1 determined: aliskiren, amlodipine and angiotensin II concentrations in interstitial
fluid of fat and skeletal muscle; aliskiren and angiotensin II concentrations, and renin
activity and concentration in fat and skeletal muscle tissues (biopsies); aliskiren,
amlodipine and angiotensin II concentrations, and renin activity and concentration in
Part 2 investigated the potential for aliskiren to modulate renin-angiotensin-aldosterone
system (RAAS) activity, and lipid/carbohydrate metabolism in adipose and skeletal muscle
tissue in obese patients with hypertension in comparison to amlodipine.
Vitamin D Augmentation of Tekturna (Aliskiren) in Hypertension [Recruiting]
In this research study, the goal is to find out if a currently FDA-approved medication
called Tekturna(Aliskiren) along with the addition of Vitamin D will lower blood pressure
and improve heart function in the African American population. High blood pressure occurs
earlier in life in African Americans, is more severe, and is associated with greater organ
damage in relation to uncontrolled hypertension. Having low levels of Vitamin D is also very
common in the African American population. Research has shown that there may be a link
between low Vitamin D levels and the ability of high blood pressure medications to be fully
The Effect of Tekturna on Endothelial Function and Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Patients With Early Atherosclerosis [Terminated]
We will study the hypothesis that long-term Tekturna treatment will improve endothelial
function and the production and function of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in patients
with early atherosclerosis. Specifically, long-term Tekturna treatment will increase the
Reactive Hyperemia Peripheral Arterial Tonometry indexes and increase the numbers and the
function of circulating endothelial progenitor cells, compared to placebo, in association
with a reduction in inflammation and oxidative stress.
A Clinical Study to Evaluate Renal Hemodynamic Responses to Aliskiren in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus [Completed]
The study objective was to assess the effect of single and multiple doses of aliskiren on

multiple doses of aliskiren versus captopril or irbesartan on renal blood flow, glomerular
filtration rate, and retinal blood flow in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
