Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether an aggressive multi-risk factor management strategy (Caduet plus therapeutic lifestyle changes (TLC) regimen) will result in greater percentage of patients achieving blood pressure and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) goals compared with a Joint National Committee 7/ National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (JNC 7/NCEP ATP III) guideline-based approach (Norvasc plus TLC regimen) after 6 weeks of treatment in primary prevention subjects with hypertension and additional risk factors, including dyslipidemia.

Recruitment Details
Pre-assignment Detail The study enrolled 244 evaluable subjects. Drug treatments were used prior to the start of the study in all subjects in the Caduet and therapeutic lifestyle changes (TLC) group and the Norvasc and TLC group. Amlodipine was used by all subjects prior to entry. The study's four arms are two groups, each with drug group and matching placebo.
Arm/Group Title Norvasc + TLC Caduet + TLC
Arm/Group Description Blinded Norvasc (amlodipine) 5 to 10 milligram (mg) and matching Caduet placebo dosed once daily along with Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) for 6 weeks. Blinded Caduet (amlodipine besylate/atorvastatin calcium) 5/20 to 10/20 mg and matching Norvasc placebo dosed once daily along with TLC for 6 weeks.

With ~120 in each treatment arm, planned power was at least 90% to detect a difference between treatments, assuming 35% in the Caduet and 15% in the Norvasc arm achieving BP <140/90 mmHg and LDL <100 mg/dL and using a chi-square test with 0.05 two-sided significance level.
