Efficacy and Safety of Lercanidipine and Valsartan in Patients With Essential Hypertension

February 17, 2011 updated by: LG Life Sciences

A Multicenter, Randomized, Parallel Group, Double Blind, Double Dummy Phase II Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of the Combinations of Lercanidipine and Valsartan in Comparison to Each Component Administered Alone and to Determine the Optimal Dose Combinations in Patients With Essential Hypertension

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of fixed combination of lercanidipine (10 mg or 20 mg) and valsartan (80 mg or 160 mg), lercanidipine and valsartan alone in reducing blood pressure. The study will investigate the dose response relationship for the combinations and monotherapies.
