Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Forced-Titration, Comparing Telmisartan vs Valsartan. Taken Orally for Eight Weeks in Patients With Stage 1 and Stage 2 Hypertension

December 27, 2017 updated by: Boehringer Ingelheim

A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Forced-titration, Phase IV Study Comparing Telmisartan 80 mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg Versus Valsartan 160 mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg Taken Orally for Eight Weeks in Patients With Stage 1 or Stage 2 Hypertension.

The primary objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of telmisartan 80 mg / hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg [Micardis HCT] to valsartan 160 mg / hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg [Diovan HCT] and placebo in the treatment of Stage 1 and Stage 2 hypertension.
