An 8-week Randomised, Double-blind Study to Compare the Fixed-dose Combination of Telmisartan 80 mg & Amlodipine 10mg Versus Telmisartan 80 mg Monotherapy or Amlodipine 10 mg Monotherapy as First Line Therapy in Patients With Severe Hypertension (Grade 3).
An 8-week Randomised, Double-blind Study to Compare the Fixed-dose Combination of Telmisartan 80 mg & Amlodipine 10mg Versus Telmisartan 80 mg Monotherapy or Amlodipine 10 mg Monotherapy as First Line Therapy in Patients With Severe Hypertension (Grade 3).
The primary objective of this trial is to demonstrate that following eight weeks of treatment the FDC of telmisartan 80 mg plus amlodipine 10 mg (T80/A10) is superior as first line therapy in reducing mean seated trough cuff Systolic Blood Pressure [SBP] compared to the monotherapies of telmisartan 80 mg (T80) and amlodipine 10 mg (A10) in patients with severe hypertension. A key secondary objective is to identify the duration of treatment required to demonstrate the superiority of the FDC over both of the monotherapies.
