| Main Objective: • To compare the antihypertensive efficacy of Zofenopril 30 mg plus HCTZ 12.5 mg versus Irbersartan 150 mg plus HCTZ 12.5 mg by assessment of the average reduction in mean day-time Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) from baseline in the two groups after 6 weeks of treatment.;Secondary Objective: To compare the antihypertensive efficacy in the two treatment groups by assessment of: average reduction in mean day-time Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) in the two groups after 12 and 18 weeks; the rate of subjects with day-time normalization rate after 6,12 and 18; the rate of subjects with office normalization rate after 6, 12 and 18 weeks; the rate of subjects with day-time responder rate after 6, 12 and 18 weeks; the rate of subjects with office responder rate after 6, 12 and 18 weeks; the average reduction in sitting office Systolic Blood Pressure and Diastolic Blood Pressure after 6, 12 and 18 weeks; the average changes in microalbuminuria and/or in albumine-creatinine ratio from baseline in the two groups and average changes in estimated creatinine clearance (Cockroft-Gault formula) from baseline in the two groups after 18 weeks of treatment; the average changes in cardiovascular risk from baseline in the two groups after 6, 12 and 18 weeks of treatment by mean of Heart Sco;Primary end point(s): 24-h Blood Pressure monitoring: average reduction of mean day-time Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) from baseline to the end of the first step of treatment (6 weeks) in the two groups | — |
