Registration Number
NCT00403481
Lead Sponsor
Daiichi Sankyo
Brief Summary

This study will examine the ability of olmesartan medoxomil to lower the blood pressure of patients with Type II diabetes and high blood pressure. The medication being tested has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of high blood pressure.

GroupInterventionDescription
Active treatmentOlmesartan medoxomil plus HydrochlorothiazideBlood pressure (BP) measurements were taken every three weeks for 12 weeks. In accordance with their BP results, participants either stayed on their current medication or were started on the next higher regimen at the 3, 6, or 9 week visits. All participants began at 20 mg olmesartan, once daily for 3 weeks. The next higher regimen was olmesartan 40 mg, followed by olmesartan 40 mg + 12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide, followed by olmesartan 40 mg + 25 mg of hydrochlorothiazide.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Systolic BP (SBP) as Measured by 24-hour ABPM.baseline and 12 weeks

Participants had a 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure session at baseline and after 12 weeks of treatment. This outcome measure pooled all participants regardless of their titration history during the study.
