Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the fixed dose combinations of azilsartan medoxomil plus chlorthalidone (40/12.5 and 40/25 mg), once daily, in participants with grades 2 or 3 essential hypertension who do not reach target blood pressure following treatment with 40 mg azilsartan medoxomil monotherapy after 4 weeks.

Detailed description

Eligible participants completed a 2-week single-blind run-in period (Days -42 to -29) prior to a Single-Blind Monotherapy Treatment Period (Day -28 to Day -1) where they received azilsartan medoxomil 40 mg. After the Single-Blind Monotherapy Treatment Period, those participants who achieved target blood pressure discontinued treatment and resumed standard of care management at the discretion of their treating physician, while those participants who did not achieve target blood pressure (defined as clinic systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg) were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 active treatment arms: azilsartan medoxomil 40 mg plus placebo, azilsartan medoxomil plus chlorthalidone 40/12.5 mg, or azilsartan medoxomil plus chlorthalidone 40/25 mg.

At Screening 1. The participant has grade 2-3 essential hypertension which is not adequately controlled, as defined by mean, trough, sitting, clinic systolic blood pressure (SBP): * ≥160 to ≤180 mm Hg in participants who have not received any antihypertensive medication in the 14 days prior to Visit 1. * ≥150 to ≤170 mm Hg in participants taking 1 antihypertensive medication at Visit 1. * ≥140 to ≤160 mm Hg in participants taking 2 antihypertensive medications at Visit 1. 2. The participant has clinical laboratory test results (clinical chemistry, hematology, and complete urinalysis) within the reference range for the testing laboratory or the investigator does not consider the results to be clinically relevant for precluding entry in to the study in this hypertensive population. 3.

Change From Baseline to Week 8 in Trough, Sitting, Clinic Systolic Blood Pressure

The change between trough systolic blood pressure measured at final visit or Week 8 relative to baseline. Systolic blood pressure is the arithmetic mean of the 3 trough sitting systolic blood pressure measurements.

Time frame: Baseline (of the double-blind treatment period) and Week 8

Population: Full analysis set, consisting of all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of double-blind study drug. A participant was included in the analyses only when there was both a baseline value and at least 1 value during the double-blind treatment period. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) was used.

Comparison: The type I error was controlled using a 2-step hierarchical testing procedure. In the first step, the high dose (40/25 mg) of Azilsartan medoxomil + chlorthalidone was compared to Azilsartan medoxomil alone. If the comparison in step 1 was statistically significant at a significance level of 5%, then step 2 was performed by comparing the low dose (40/12.5 mg) and monotherapy at the 5% significance level.p-value: <0.00195% CI: [-17.6, -11.8]ANCOVA

Change From Baseline to Week 8 in the Mean Daytime Diastolic Blood Pressure, as Measured by Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring

The change in daytime (6 am to 10 pm) mean diastolic blood pressure measured at final visit or week 8 relative to baseline. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring measures blood pressure at regular intervals throughout the day and night. Daytime mean is the average of all measurements recorded between the hours of 6 am and 10 pm.

Time frame: Baseline and Week 8
