1
Losartan
Comparator: losartan +/- HCTZ
Placebo to losartan once daily for 4 weeks in run-in period. Then, losartan 50 mg for 4 weeks, then titrate to losartan 100 mg at Week 4, then titrate to losartan 100 mg + hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 12.5 mg at Week 8, and finally titrate to losartan 100 mg + HCTZ 25 mg at Week 12. Duration of treatment is approximately 16 weeks.
2
Placebo
Comparator: Placebo
Placebo to losartan once daily for 4 weeks in run-in period. Then, placebo to losartan or losartan/HCTZ once daily for approximately 16 weeks.
