Brief Summary

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

STEP-Pre is to investigate the benefits of using anti-hypertensive drugs in the population with a blood pressure of 130-139/80-89 mmHg and evaluate the health economics.

STEP-Pre is a multi-center randomized clinical trial. The cohort will be randomized into the treatment group or control group with a 1:1 ratio. The treatment group will take anti-hypertensive medicine to control blood pressure under 130/80 mmHg. Both groups will take health care education.

STEP-Pre will last 4 years.

Outcome Assessors

Study Groups

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

Treatment

Antihypertensive drugs will be provided to the participants in the arm, including RASI and/or a single pill combination based on RASI.

If the blood pressure of a participant elevates to above 140/90 mmHg, antihypertensive therapy will be provided.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

RASI and/or a single pill combination based RASI

Intervention Type DRUG

The participants in the Treatment group will begin with a single category antihypertensive drug to control their blood pressure, for example, perindopril. If the blood pressure cannot be controlled under 130/80 mmHg, another type of antihypertensive drug will be added.

Control

If the blood pressure of a participant elevates to above 140/90 mmHg, antihypertensive therapy will be provided.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
