Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
This is a prospective randomized, multi-national, multi-center, double-blind, double dummy, placebo-controlled, six-arm, parallel-group, phase II, factorial design study. This study will be conducted in Korea, Taiwan, India and Philippines. The primary endpoint will be the difference in mean change from baseline at the end of 8 weeks in SeDBP between each FDC, its individual constituents administered as monotherapy and placebo. The Secondary endpoint: 1) Difference in mean change from baseline in SeSBP at end of 8 weeks between each FDC, its individual constituents administered as monotherapy and placebo. 2) Difference in mean change from baseline in SeDBP and SeSBP at 4 weeks from baseline between each FDC, its individual constituents administered as monotherapy and placebo. 3) Safety endpoints: The safety and tolerability of the FDCs, monotherapies and placebo will be assessed by the Clinical AEs, including laboratory abnormalities. 72 patients will be enrolled from India.
