Summary

The study will evaluate the blood pressure lowering effects of two different dosages of the combination of olmesartan and hydrochlorothiazide in patients with moderate or severe high blood pressure.

Clinical Details

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Olmesartan Medoxomil/Hydrochlorothiazide Combination 20/25 mg Versus 40/25 mg in Moderately to Severely Hypertensive Patients Not Adequately Controlled by Olmesartan Medoxomil 40 mg Monotherapy

Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: To compare the efficacy in lowering mean trough sitting dBP between OM/HCTZ 20/25 mg vs. 40/25 mg, in those patients inadequately controlled on OM 40 mg monotherapy, after eight weeks of double blind treatment, as compared to baseline.

Secondary outcome:

Reduction in sitting systolic blood pressure.
