| NCT00523744 | Efficacy and Safety of Valsartan and Amlodipine (± HCTZ) in Adults With Moderate, Inadequately Controlled Hypertension | PHASE3 | COMPLETED | 257 | — | — | Jul 1, 2007 | Dec 1, 2007 | Aug 4, 2020 | 2 | Germany, |
The arm in which the highest sitting diastolic pressures were found at study entry was the arm used for all subsequent readings. A calibrated sphygmomanometer and appropriate size cuff were used to measure arterial sitting blood pressure (BP) at trough with the arm supported at the level of the heart. At each study visit, after having the patient in a sitting position for at least 5 minutes, systolic/diastolic blood pressure were measured 3 times at 1-2 minute intervals. A mean was calculated from the 3 measurements. A negative change indicates improvement.

| Amlodipine(AML)+olmesartan, AML+valsartan, AML+valsartan+HCTZ | EXPERIMENTAL | During the Treatment Phase 1, participants received 1 week of treatment with olmesartan 10 mg and amlodipine 5 mg once daily in free combination, followed by three weeks of treatment with olmesartan 20 mg plus amlodipine 10 mg once daily in free combination. During the treatment Phase 2 of the study participants received amlodipine 10 mg plus valsartan 160 mg for 4 weeks. During the Extension Phase, participants received 4 weeks treatment with amlodipine 10 mg plus valsartan 160 mg plus hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 12.5 mg. |
