| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To assess the Subjects Treated to Target (STTT) rate overall and on each treatment combination step. STTT are defined as patients with mild to moderate hypertension achieving target blood pressure. Target blood pressure is defined as mean sitting systolic BP at trough of = 130 mmHg and mean sitting diastolic BP = 85 mmHg for non-diabetic patients or mean sitting systolic BP at trough of < 130 mmHg and mean sitting diastolic BP < 80 mmHg for diabetic patients. ;Secondary Objective: 1. Influence of prognostic factors for the need of a combination therapy. 2. Effect of OLM monotherapy and the add-on treatment algorithm overall and on each treatment combination step in terms of the percentage of patients achieving a mean sitting systolic BP at trough of < 140 mmHg and mean sitting diastolic BP < 90 mmHg for non-diabetic patients or a mean sitting systolic BP at trough of < 130 mmHg and mean sitting diastolic BP < 80 mmHg for diabetic patients. 3. Effect of OLM monotherapy and the add-on treatment algorithm in terms of change of mean sitting sBP and dBP versus baseline at each visit. 4. Effect of OLM monotherapy and the add-on treatment algorithm in terms of a decrease of = 10 mmHg in mean sitting dBP or a mean sitting dBP of < 90 mmHg at trough at each visit. 5. Safety and tolerability of OLM monotherapy and the add-on treatment algorithm consisting of HCTZ and AML after a maximum of 20 weeks of active treatment. ;Primary end point(s): Reaching Target blood pressure. Target blood pressure is defined as mean sitting systolic BP at trough of = 130 mmHg and mean sitting diastolic BP = 85 mmHg for non-diabetic patients or mean sitting systolic BP at trough of < 130 mmHg and mean sitting diastolic BP < 80 mmHg for diabetic patients. | — |
