Brief summary
Eight-week multi-national, multicenter, randomized, double blind, active control, two arms, parallel groups study with a 4-week single drug treatment (manidipine or amlodipine) phase followed by a 4-week combination treatment (manidipine + delapril or amlodipine + delapril) phase.
Detailed description
The aim of the current study is to assess the effect of a 4-week single drug treatment with manidipine or amlodipine and a 4-week combination treatment with manidipine plus delapril or amlodipine plus delapril on intraglomerular pressure in subjects with hypertension.
Interventions
amlodipine 10 mg once daily
manidipine 20 mg once daily
amlodipine 5 mg + delapril 30 mg once daily
manidipine 10 mg + delapril 30 mg once daily
