Add-on to Micamlo BP Trial

This is a multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, active-controlled, parallel-group comparative trial to compare the fixed dose combination (FDC) of telmisartan 80 mg +hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg and amlodipine 5 mg (T80/A5/H12.5 mg) to telmisartan 80 mg+ amlodipine 5 mg (T80/A5 mg) in blood pressure lowering effect at week 8, the end of the double-blind period in essential hypertensive patients who fail to respond adequately to telmisartan 80 mg+ amlodipine 5 mg. Patients are assigned to one of the two groups after a 6-week open-label run-in period taking T80/A5 mg.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Mean Seated DBP at Trough After 8 Weeks of the Double-blind Period.

    Time frame: baseline and week 8

    Change from baseline in mean seated diastolic blood pressure (DBP) at trough after 8 weeks of the double-blind period. After patients had rested in a seated position for approximately 5 minutes, blood pressure was measured 3 times at approximately 2-minute intervals. The mean of the 3 measurements are used as endpoints.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Mean Seated SBP at Trough After 8 Weeks of the Double-blind Period.

    Time frame: baseline and week 8

    Change from baseline in mean seated systolic blood pressure (SBP) at trough after 8 weeks of the double-blind period. After patients had rested in a seated position for approximately 5 minutes, blood pressure was measured 3 times at approximately 2-minute intervals. The mean of the 3 measurements are used as endpoints.

  2. The Proportion of Patients With DBP<90 mmHg and SBP<140 mmHg as Seated Blood Pressure at Trough After 8 Weeks of the Double-blind Period

    Time frame: baseline and week 8

    Patients with trough seated DBP =>90 mmHg or trough seated SBP >=140 mmHg at baseline were analysed.
