Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety Comparison of Azilsartan Medoxomil to Valsartan in Participants With Essential Hypertension (NCT NCT00591578)

NCT ID: NCT00591578

Last Updated: 2012-02-02

Results Overview

The change in 24-hour mean systolic blood pressure measured at week 24 relative to baseline. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring measures blood pressure at regular intervals throughout the day and night. The 24-hour mean is the average of all measurements recorded for 24 hours after dosing.

Participant Flow

Participants enrolled at 103 investigative sites from 09 November 2007 to 03 September 2009 (double-blind phase) and 04 March 2009 to 13 March 2010 (open-label extension phase). A total of 984 participants were randomized into the double-blind treatment phase, of which 170 participants entered into the open-label extension phase.

Participants with essential hypertension were enrolled in one of three, once-daily (QD) treatment groups.

Measure
Azilsartan Medoxomil 40 mg QD
Azilsartan medoxomil 20 mg, tablets, orally, once daily for 2 weeks; titrated to 40 mg, tablets, orally, once daily for up to 22 weeks. Open Label Extension: At Week 24/completion of the double-blind treatment phase, participants could elect to continue in 28 week, open-label extension (OLE) phase. All participants who elected to participate in the OLE phase initiated treatment with azilsartan medoxomil 40 mg, tablets, orally, independent of their double-blind treatment assignment. Investigators may have added, in a step-wise fashion, hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg, followed by hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg, followed by other antihypertensive medications (except angiotensin II receptor blockers) as needed to achieve target blood pressure (\<140/90 mm Hg or \<130/80 mm Hg for diabetics).
Azilsartan Medoxomil 80 mg QD
Azilsartan medoxomil 20 mg, tablets, orally, once daily for 2 weeks; titrated to 80 mg, tablets, orally, once daily for up to 22 weeks. Open Label Extension: At Week 24/completion of the double-blind treatment phase, participants could elect to continue in 28 week, open-label extension (OLE) phase. All participants who elected to participate in the OLE phase initiated treatment with azilsartan medoxomil 40 mg, tablets, orally, independent of their double-blind treatment assignment.

Valsartan 320 mg QD
Valsartan 80 mg, tablets, orally, once daily for 2 weeks; titrated to 320 mg, tablets, orally, once daily for up to 22 weeks. Open Label Extension: At Week 24/completion of the double-blind treatment phase, participants could elect to continue in 28 week, open-label extension (OLE) phase. All participants who elected to participate in the OLE phase initiated treatment with azilsartan medoxomil 40 mg, tablets, orally, independent of their double-blind treatment assignment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 24.

Population: Full analysis set with last observation carried forward.

Percentage of participants who achieve a clinic systolic blood pressure response measured at week 24, defined as less than 140 mm Hg and/or reduction from baseline of greater than or equal to 20 mm Hg. Systolic blood pressure is the arithmetic mean of the 3 trough sitting systolic blood pressure measurements.
