Brief Summary  

This trial is a multicentric, randomized, double blind, parallel group, comparative, phase III clinical study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of fixed dose combination of Azilsartan Medoxomil 40 mg plus Amlodipine 5 mg Tablets and fixed dose combination of Azilsartan Medoxomil 80 mg plus Amlodipine 5 mg Tablets versus fixed dose combination of Telmisartan 40 mg plus Amlodipine 5 mg Tablets in patients with stage 2 hypertension.

 

Patients who are willing and able to participate in the study will sign and date the Informed Consent Form on the day of screening / baseline visit (Visit 1). The purpose of screening is to obtain informed consent and to establish protocol eligibility. Informed consent will be obtained after the study has been fully explained to each patient and before the conduct of any screening procedures or assessments. During this screening period, patients who are willing to give consent will be evaluated for all the eligibility criteria.

 

Eligible patients clinically diagnosed with stage 2 hypertension and who are between 18 to 65 years of age will be considered for the study. Patients fulfilling all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be confirmed and randomized on randomization visit/visit 2 and that day will be considered as day 1.

 

After confirming the inclusion/exclusion criteria the patient will be provided with study medication and drug dosing card at randomization visit. Blood pressure measurement will be standardized at all sites by providing validated automated blood pressure machine.

 

Patients will be assigned either of the three treatment arms i.e., Arm A or Arm B or Arm C consisting of FDC of Azilsartan Medoxomil 40 mg plus Amlodipine 5 mg Tablets or FDC of Azilsartan Medoxomil 80 mg plus Amlodipine 5 mg Tablets or FDC of Telmisartan 40 mg plus Amlodipine 5 mg Tablets in a ratio of 1:1:1.

 

The recommended dose of test product is one tablet once a day in the morning after breakfast for 12 weeks. Each tablet is to be taken orally with water around same time every day during entire clinical trial period.

 

All patients will be assessed for primary efficacy endpoint and secondary efficacy end points. For patients who are discontinued due to lack of efficacy last SBP & DBP reading at the time of discontinuation will be considered as end point. Patients will be assessed for the safety and tolerability of the study medications.
