Participant Flow

The study was conducted at 10 clinical trial sites in Guatemala.

A total of 200 subjects (100 subjects in the amlodipine failed group, and 100 subjects in the bisoprolol failed group) were enrolled and randomized in the trial. Out of which 196 subjects (97 subjects in amlodipine failed group and 99 subjects in bisoprolol failed group) were included in modified intent-to-treat (MITT) analysis set.

Amlodipine Failed Group
Subjects who failed monotherapy with amlodipine 5 milligram (mg) before trial inclusion were randomized to amlodipine failed group to receive Bisoprolol/Amlodipine fixed dose combination(FDC) tablet. Bisoprolol/Amlodipine FDC tablet was orally administered at initial dose of 5mg/5mg once daily for 6 weeks.If blood pressure (BP) was controlled at Week 6(Day 43),same dose continued for next 6 weeks. If BP was not controlled at Day 43,dose was increased to Bisoprolol/Amlodipine 5mg/10mg or 10mg/5mg for next 6 weeks.Subjects who had controlled BP atWeek 12(Day 85),continued same dose that they were receiving for next 6 weeks. If BP was not controlled at Day 85,dose was increased to next level,(Bisoprolol/Amlodipine 5mg/10mg for subjects receiving Bisoprolol/Amlodipine 5mg/5mg dose and Bisoprolol/Amlodipine 10mg/10mg for subjects receiving Bisoprolol/Amlodipine 5mg/10mg dose) until Week 18(Day 127).Controlled BP=Systolic BP(SBP)\<140 millimetre of mercury(mmHg) and Diastolic BP(DBP)\<90mmHg.
Bisoprolol Failed Group
Subjects who failed monotherapy with bisoprolol 5 mg before trial inclusion were randomized to bisoprolol failed group to receive Bisoprolol/Amlodipine FDC tablet. Bisoprolol/Amlodipine FDC tablet was orally administered at an initial dose of 5 mg/5 mg once daily for 6 weeks. If BP was controlled at Week 6 (Day 43), the same dose was continued for next 6 weeks. If the BP was not controlled at Day 43, the dose was increased to Bisoprolol/Amlodipine 5mg/10mg or 10mg/5mg for next 6 weeks. Subjects who had controlled BP at Week 12 (Day 85), continued with the same dose that they were receiving for next 6 weeks. If their BP was not controlled at Day 85, dose was increased to the next level (Bisoprolol/Amlodipine 5mg/10mg for subjects receiving Bisoprolol/Amlodipine 5mg/5mg dose and Bisoprolol/Amlodipine and 10mg/10mg for subjects receiving Bisoprolol/Amlodipine 5mg/10mg dose) until Week 18 (Day 127). Controlled BP = SBP \<140 mmHg and DBP \<90 mmHg.

Timeframe: Baseline up to Day 127 (end of trial)

Population: Safety analysis set included all subjects who received at least 1 dose of IMP.

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a subject who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment emergent AEs was AEs that started or worsened in severity on or after the date of first dose of IMP until the end of the study. AEs leading to death and discontinued were also presented.

Bisoprolol Failed Group
n=100 participants at risk
Subjects who failed monotherapy with bisoprolol 5 mg before trial inclusion were randomized to bisoprolol failed group to receive Bisoprolol/Amlodipine FDC tablet. Bisoprolol/Amlodipine FDC tablet was orally administered at an initial dose of 5 mg/5 mg once daily for 6 weeks. If BP was controlled at Week 6 (Day 43), the same dose was continued for next 6 weeks. If the BP was not controlled at Day 43, the dose was increased to Bisoprolol/Amlodipine 5 mg/10 mg or 10 mg/5 mg for next 6 weeks. Subjects who had controlled BP at Week 12 (Day 85), continued with the same dose that they were receiving for next 6 weeks. If their BP was not controlled at Day 85, dose was increased to the next level (Bisoprolol/Amlodipine 5 mg/10 mg for subjects receiving Bisoprolol/Amlodipine 5 mg/5 mg dose and Bisoprolol/Amlodipine and 10 mg/10 mg for subjects receiving Bisoprolol/Amlodipine 5 mg/10 mg dose) until Week 18 (Day 127).
