Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective is to demonstrate the superior efficacy of the FDC of nifedipine GITS and candesartan cilexetil compared to nifedipine GITS monotherapy in subjects with essential hypertension not adequately controlled on nifedipine GITS alone, based on reduction of MSSBP.;Secondary Objective: 1. To demonstrate the efficacy of the FDCs of nifedipine GITS and candesartan cilexetil based on reduction of mean seated diastolic blood pressure (MSDBP), response rate, control rate. 2. To demonstrate the efficacy of the FDCs of Nifedipine GITS/ candesartan cilexetil based on reduction of mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) on ABPM over a 24-h period, during both the daytime and night time. 2. To explore the safety and tolerability of the FDC treatments.;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy variable will be change from baseline in MSSBP at Week 8. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 8 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |

| Secondary end point(s): As a secondary endpoint, this study will evaluate the change from baseline in MSDBP, as well as predefined response and control criteria at week 8.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 8 | — |
