Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Amlodipine + Valsartan

Participants received 160 mg Valsartan and 5 mg amlodipine orally once a day for 52 weeks. If blood pressure was not normalized at week 4, treatment was uptitrated to valsartan/amlodipine 160/10 mg. Participants with still uncontrolled hypertension could receive add-on antihypertensive medication.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Valsartan

Intervention Type DRUG

160 mg film coated tablets taken orally once daily in the morning.

Amlodipine

Intervention Type DRUG

5 mg or 10 mg tablets taken orally once daily in the morning.

Losartan + Hydrochlorothiazide

Participants received 100 mg losartan and 12.5 mg Hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) orally once a day for 52 weeks. If blood pressure was not normalized at week 4, treatment was uptitrated to losartan/HCT 100/25 mg, respectively, until end of study. Participants with still uncontrolled hypertension could receive add-on antihypertensive medication.
