Evaluation of Effect of Combination With Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide in Hypertensives Uncontrolled on Amlodipine (ONEAST)

October 17, 2016 updated by: Hiroshi Satonaka, Tokyo University

ONgoing Evaluation of Depressor Effect And Safety of Combination Therapy With Telmisartan and Low-dose Hydrochlorothiazide in Patients With Hypertension Uncontrolled on Amlodipine Treatment

The purpose of this study is to compare depressor effect and safety between combination therapy with telmisartan plus low-dose hydrochlorothiazide and amlodipine in hypertensive patients.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

In hypertensive patients whose blood pressure (BP) does not reach less than 140/90 mmHg with 5mg/day of amlodipine are divided the following two groups and BP response, laboratory data, and adverse effects are compared. Group 1: 12 week combination therapy with telmisartan plus low-dose hydrochlorothiazide. Group 2: Amlodipine is continuously administered.
