Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of daily topiramate 96mg or 192mg versus placebo in obese patients with mild to moderate high blood pressure
Detailed Description: Topiramate is not approved for the treatment of obesity The use of topiramate to reduce weight in obese patients may have the adjunctive benefit of reducing blood pressure in subjects with treated or untreated hypertension on or off background antihypertensive medications This double-blind placebo controlled study investigates the long-term efficacy of topiramate for reduction of weight and blood pressure in obese patients with mild-moderate hypertension and the safety and tolerability of topiramate in this patient population The study consists of 4 phases 6 week run-in phase 2 weeks screening and 4 weeks single-blind placebo 8 week titration phase topiramate group will have their dose increased from 16mgday to either 96mgday or 192mgday 52 week maintenance phase patients will receive fixed dose of either topiramate or placebo and 6 week follow-up phase Beginning at enrollment and throughout the study all subjects participated in a standardized behavioral modification program which provides subjects with lifestyle and self-management strategies for diet nutrition and physical activity Effectiveness will be evaluated by multiple measurements such as change in body weight sitting diastolic blood pressure sitting systolic blood pressure Body Mass Index number and proportion of treatment responders volume of left ventricle of the heart as measured by echocardiography and fasting lipid profile Safety evaluations incidence and severity of adverse events vital signs 12 lead ECG clinical laboratory results will be conducted throughout the study The study hypothesis is that topiramate is effective in reducing blood pressure in obese patients with mild to moderate hypertension and is well tolerated During the initial 8 weeks the dose of topiramate or placebo will be gradually increased to the target doses either 48mg twice daily or 96mg twice daily by mouth and the doses will be maintained for 52 weeks
