Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to investigate which combination therapy is more effective for improving the blood pressure (BP) and reducing target organ damage in Japanese hypertensive patients: Angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) plus calcium channel blocker (CCB) or ARB plus diuretics.
Detailed Description:
Renin-angiotensin (RA) inhibitors have been demonstrated to be the most effective drugs for reducing subclinical target organ damage in hypertensive patients. In several patients, however, BP control is not sufficiently achieved by RA inhibitors alone, and a combination of two drugs is frequently required. It is unclear whether a combination of RA inhibitors and diuretics or CCB is more effective in reducing hypertensive target organ damage. Control of central BP has been shown to be more effective than peripheral BP in predicting cardiovascular events and target organ damage associated with hypertension. The J-CORE study is active controlled, 2-arm parallel group comparison, prospective randomized open blinded end-point (PROBE) design study. The ARB plus CCB combination therapy group is administered olmesartan 20 mg/day and azelnidipine 16 mg/day and the ARB plus diuretics combination therapy group receives olmesartan 20 mg/day and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 12.5 mg/day. At least 100 patients will be enrolled in each group and the follow up duration will be 24 weeks. The primary endpoint is to compare the changes in the central aortic BP and the ambulatory BP between the two groups. The secondary endpoint is to compare the changes in office BP, home BP, and hypertensive target organ damage between the two groups.
