Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antihypertensive effect of azilsartan medoxomil compared with valsartan in Chinese participants with essential hypertension.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Azilsartan medoxomil
  • Drug: Valsartan
  • Drug: Azilsartan medoxomil Placebo
  • Drug: Valsartan Placebo
Phase 3

Detailed Description

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-491 (azilsartan medoxomil). Azilsartan medoxomil is being tested to treat Chinese people who have essential hypertension. This study will look at change in blood pressure after 8 weeks of treatment in people who take azilsartan medoxomil compared to people who take valsartan.

The study enrolled 612 patients. Prior to the start of study treatment, participants who have not received antihypertensive treatment within 28 days participated in a 2-week -run in period. Upon completion of the run-in period, participants were randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the three treatment groups-which remain undisclosed to the patient and study doctor during the study (unless there is an urgent medical need):

  • azilsartan medoxomil 40 mg

  • azilsartan medoxomil 80 mg

  • Valsartan 160 mg

All participants were asked to take study medication at the same time each day throughout the study.

This multi-centre trial was conducted in China. The overall time to participate in this study is up to 14 weeks. Participants made 9 visits to the clinic and contacted by telephone 14 days after last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in Trough Sitting Clinic Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) [Baseline and Week 8]

      The change in trough clinic sitting SBP measured at Week 8 relative to baseline. The trough is the average of the non-missing values of 3 serial trough sitting SBP measurements. Blood pressure was measured using a validated, automated device after the participant had been sitting for at least 5 minutes. Week 8 blood pressure was measured approximately 24 hours after the previous day's dose.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in Trough Sitting Clinic Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) [Baseline and Week 8]

      The change in trough clinic sitting DBP measured at Week 8 relative to baseline. The trough is the average of the non-missing values of 3 serial trough sitting DBP measurements. Blood pressure was measured using a validated, automated device after the participant had been sitting for at least 5 minutes. Week 8 blood pressure was measured approximately 24 hours after the previous day's dose.

    2. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Clinic SBP Response at Week 8 [Week 8]

      Clinic SBP response was defined as clinic SBP <140 mm Hg and/or reduction of ≥20 mm Hg from Baseline. Blood pressure was measured using a validated, automated device after the participant had been sitting for at least 5 minutes. Week 8 blood pressure was measured approximately 24 hours after the previous day's dose.

    3. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Clinic DBP Response at Week 8 [Week 8]

      Clinic DBP response was defined as clinic DBP <90 mm Hg and/or reduction of ≥10 mm Hg from Baseline. Blood pressure was measured using a validated, automated device after the participant had been sitting for at least 5 minutes. Week 8 blood pressure was measured approximately 24 hours after the previous day's dose.

    4. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Both Clinic SBP and DBP Response at Week 8 [Week 8]

      Clinic SBP response was defined as clinic SBP <140 mm Hg and/or reduction of ≥20 mm Hg from Baseline and clinic DBP response was defined as clinic DBP <90 mm Hg and/or reduction of ≥10 mm Hg from Baseline. Blood pressure was measured using a validated, automated device after the participant had been sitting for at least 5 minutes.

    Title Change From Baseline in Trough Sitting Clinic Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP)
    Description The change in trough clinic sitting SBP measured at Week 8 relative to baseline. The trough is the average of the non-missing values of 3 serial trough sitting SBP measurements. Blood pressure was measured using a validated, automated device after the participant had been sitting for at least 5 minutes. Week 8 blood pressure was measured approximately 24 hours after the previous day's dose.

    Title Change From Baseline in Trough Sitting Clinic Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP)
    Description The change in trough clinic sitting DBP measured at Week 8 relative to baseline. The trough is the average of the non-missing values of 3 serial trough sitting DBP measurements. Blood pressure was measured using a validated, automated device after the participant had been sitting for at least 5 minutes. Week 8 blood pressure was measured approximately 24 hours after the previous day's dose.
    Time Frame Baseline and Week 8
