Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that telmisartan 80 mg combined with hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg (T80/H12.5) is at least as effective and possibly superior to valsartan 160 mg combined with hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg (V160/H12.5) in lowering mean ambulatory systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) during the last 6 hours of the 24-hour dosing interval at the end of a 10-week treatment period in mild-to-moderate hypertensive, overweight or obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Methodology:

Prospective, randomised, open-label, blinded end-point, forced-titration, parallel group comparison using Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM).

Planned/Actual Number of Subjects:

Enrolled: 1500/2085; Randomised: 750/840; Complete: 680/752

Diagnosis and Main Criteria for Inclusion:

1\) Mild-to-moderate hypertension defined as a baseline mean seated cuff DBP of 95 - 109 (inclusive) mmHg, and/or SBP of 140-179 (inclusive) mmHg, and a baseline 24-hour ABPM mean DBP \>= 85 mmHg, and/or SBP \>= 130 mmHg. 2) Overweight or obese as defined by a Body Mass Index (BMI) \>= 27 kg/m2 in non-Asians and \>= 24 kg/m2 in Asians 3) Type-2 diabetes mellitus. 4) At least 30 years of age.

Duration of Treatment:

10 weeks total: telmisartan (80 mg) or valsartan (160 mg) for 4 weeks followed by telmisartan (80 mg) plus hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg) or valsartan (160 mg) plus hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg) for an additional 6 weeks.

Criteria for Efficacy:

Primary Endpoint:

Reductions in blood pressure during the last 6 hours of the 24-hour dosing interval as measured by ABPM. The primary analysis will consist of comparing telmisartan combined with hydrochlorothiazide 80 mg/12.5 mg to valsartan combined with hydrochlorothiazide 160 mg/12.5 mg at the end of the 10-week study using a closed testing procedure first testing for non-inferiority based on SBP; if significant, testing for non-inferiority based on DBP; if significant, testing for superiority based on SBP; and if significant, testing for superiority based on DBP.

Secondary Endpoints:

Statistically greater reductions in ambulatory blood pressure for patients treated with telmisartan combined with hydrochlorothiazide 80 mg/12.5 mg compared to patients treated with valsartan combined with hydrochlorothiazide 160 mg/12.5 mg at the end of the 10-week study as measured by: 1) Changes from baseline in the last 6 hours of the 24-hour dosing interval for pulse pressure; 2) Changes from baseline in the 24-hour ABPM mean (relative to dose time) for SBP, DBP, and pulse pressure; 3) Changes from baseline in the ABPM mean SBP, DBP, and pulse pressure (relative to clock time) during other periods (i.e., morning, daytime, night time) of the 24-hour dosing interval; 4) Change from baseline in systolic and diastolic blood pressure load during the 24-hour dosing interval; and 5) Percentage of patients responding to treatment based on the 24-hour ABPM mean SBP and DBP (relative to dose time).

Statistically greater reduction in mean seated trough blood pressure patients treated with telmisartan combined with hydrochlorothiazide 80 mg/12.5 mg compared to patients treated with valsartan combined with hydrochlorothiazide 160 mg/12.5 mg at the end of the 10-week study as measured by: 1) Changes from baseline in mean seated trough SBP and DBP as determined by electronic or manual device in-clinic; and 2) Percentage of patients responding to treatment based on electronic or manual in-clinic trough cuff blood pressures.

Evaluation of other endpoints comparing telmisartan combined with hydrochlorothiazide 80 mg/12.5 mg to valsartan combined with hydrochlorothiazide 160 mg/12.5 mg, respectively, including: 1) Changes from baseline in metabolic markers: serum TG, LDL-C, HDL-C, total cholesterol, potassium, fasting glucose and HbA1C, and for urine: Na, K, Cl, proteinuria (as measured by spot urine for protein:creatinine ratio); and 2) inflammatory markers: serum high sensitive C-reactive protein, serum homocysteine and plasma fibrinogen.

Criteria for Safety:

Evaluation of adverse events, physical examinations, laboratory assessments, pulse rate and cuff blood pressure monitoring.

Statistical Method:

Analysis of covariance with treatment and centre as main effects and baseline as a covariate; Mantel-Haenszel test controlling for centre.

Study Hypothesis:

Null Hypothesis:

The overall mean change from baseline in the automated blood pressure monitor mean blood pressure during the last 6 hours of the 24-hour dosing interval for telmisartan (80 mg) plus hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg) is less than or equal to that for valsartan (160 mg) plus hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg).

Alternative Hypothesis:

The overall mean change from baseline in the automated blood pressure monitor mean blood pressure during the last 6 hours of the 24-hour dosing interval for telmisartan (80 mg) plus hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg) is greater than that for valsartan (160 mg) plus hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg).

Comparison(s):

Telmisartan (80 mg) plus hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg) vs. valsartan (160 mg) plus hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg)
