Brief Summary

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

This study will assess whether LCZ696 when used in combination with amlodipine will provide greater BP lowering benefit compared to amlodipine alone in Asian hypertensive patients not adequately responsive to amlodipine therapy.

Study Groups

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

LCZ696 and amlodipine

Participants, first treated with 5 mg of amlodipine for 4 weeks to determine if they were not adequately responding to amlodipine (had an office msSBP ≥145 mmHg and \<180 mmHg) and who met all inclusion and exclusion criteria), were randomized to receive 200mg of LCZ696 in combination with 5 mg of amlodipine for 8 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

LCZ696

Intervention Type DRUG

LCZ696 will use tablets available at a strength of 200mg. Patients will be instructed to take the prescribed medication once a day.

Amlodipine

Participants, first treated with 5 mg of amlodipine for 4 weeks to determine if they were not adequately responding to amlodipine (had an office msSBP ≥145 mmHg and \<180 mmHg) and who met all inclusion and exclusion criteria), were randomized to receive 5 mg of amlodipine and placebo to LCZ696 for 8 weeks.

Inclusion Criteria

Patients must give written informed consent and have a diagnosis of hypertension:

Untreated patients must have an msSBP ≥ 150 mmHg and \< 180 mmHg at both Visit 1 and Visit 101. Pre-treated patients must have an msSBP ≥ 145 mmHg and \< 180 mmHg after wash out at Visit 101. All patients must have an office msSBP ≥ 145 mmHg and \< 180 mmHg at the completion of the 4-week run-in epoch (at the randomization visit (Visit 201).

Patients must successfully complete ABPM and pass technical requirements at Visit 201.

Exclusion Criteria
