for strategic reasons

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of atorvastatin/perindopril fixed dose combination (FDC) S05167 as compared to atorvastatin reference drug alone or perindopril drug alone on systolic blood pressure decrease and LDL cholesterol decrease respectively in patients presenting with hypertension and dyslipidemia after 8 weeks of treatment.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Men or women from 18 to 79 years old who can comply with the study requirements and timetable,

2. Patients diagnosed with Essential hypertension (as documented in patient's medical file). The diagnosis of hypertension should be based on at least two BP measurements on at least two visits.

   Uncontrolled hypertensive patients currently under monotherapy treatment within at least 4 weeks (except patients treated by perindopril) for combined systolic and diastolic hypertension (140 mmHg ≤ SBP < 160 mmHg and 90 mmHg ≤ DBP < 100 mmHg).

   or Hypertensive patients naïve of treatment with 150 mmHg ≤ SBP <160 mmHg and 90 mmHg ≤ DBP < 100 mmHg.

3. Dysplipidemic patients: naïve of treatment or uncontrolled with statin at lowest dose within at least 4 weeks with 110 mg/ Decilitre (dL) (or 2.84 millimole [mmol] /L) ≤ LDL-c < 190 mg/dL (or 4.91 mmol/L) according to a previous laboratory result within 12 months.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Unlikely to cooperate in the study,
2. Pregnant and lactating women,

4. Participation in another study at the same time or having participated in another study within 3 months before selection participation in noninterventional registries or epidemiological studies is allowed,

6.Patients treated with >1 anti-hypertensive drug or >1 Lipid lowering drug,

7.Patients previously treated with atorvastatin and/or perindopril,

8.Known resistance to ACE inhibitors,

9.Patients treated with beta-blockers or alpha-blockers,

10. Patients with liver disease or renal impairment,

11.Certain known cardiovascular diseases or cardiac rhythm disorders,

12.Known or suspected symptomatic orthostatic hypotension,

13.Familial hypercholesterolemia,

14.Secondary hypertension or dyslipidemia,

15.Patients who are hypersensitive to atorvastatin, perindopril or to any of the excipients of study drugs,

16.Hypersensitivity to any other ACE inhibitor,

17.History of angioedema associated with previous ACE inhibitor therapy.

Qualified scientific and medical researchers can request access to anonymized patient-level and study-level clinical trial data.

Access can be requested for all interventional clinical studies:

• used for Marketing Authorization (MA) of medicines and new indications approved after 1 January 2014 in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United States (US).
• where Servier is the Marketing Authorization Holder (MAH). The date of the first MA of the new medicine (or the new indication) in one of the EEA Member States will be considered for this scope.

In addition, access can be requested for all interventional clinical studies in patients:

• sponsored by Servier
• with a first patient enrolled as of 1 January 2004 onwards
• for New Chemical Entity or New Biological Entity (new pharmaceutical form excluded) for which development has been terminated before any Marketing authorization (MA) approval.

After Marketing Authorisation in EEA or US if the study is used for the approval.

Researchers should register on Servier Data Portal and fill in the research proposal form. This form in four parts should be fully documented. The Research Proposal Form will not be reviewed until all mandatory fields are completed.
