Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to gain an understanding of the actual use of candesartan cilexetil (Blopress) in patients with hypertension, and to examine the changes in parameters such as blood pressure.

Detailed Description

This special drug use surveillance was planned to gain an understanding of the actual use of candesartan cilexetil in the new anti-hypertensive treatment environment where angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) combination drugs have become commercially available. The surveillance also investigated the background factors of patients continuing treatment with candesartan cilexetil and patients who switched from candesartan cilexetil to ARB combination drugs, as well as changes in parameters such as blood pressure.

The usual adult dosage of Candesartan cilexetil is 4 to 8 mg, administered orally, once daily. Meanwhile, treatment was to be started at 2 mg once daily in patients with renal impairment and the dose could be increased up to 8 mg as necessary.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Changes in Clinic Blood Pressure in the Sitting Position for Participants Who Switched to ARB Combination Drug Therapy at Week 14

Time Frame: Baseline, Month 3, Last dose of Candesartan, and Last dose of ARB Combination Drug (up to Month 6)

Changes in clinic blood pressure (systolic blood pressure -SBP and diastolic blood pressure -DBP) in the sitting position measured at Month 3, last dose of candesartan and last dose of ARB Combination Drug (up to Month 6) relative to baseline were reported. The data was for only participants who switched to ARB combination drug therapy from candesartan therapy at Week 14 as part of routine medical care.

Changes in Clinic Blood Pressure in the Sitting Position for Participants Who Switched to Diuretic-containing ARB Combination Drug Therapy at Week 14

Time Frame: Baseline and Last dose of ARB Combination Drug (up to Month 6)

Changes in clinic blood pressure (systolic blood pressure -SBP and diastolic blood pressure -DBP) in the sitting position measured at last dose of diuretic-containing ARB combination drug (up to Month 6) relative to baseline were reported. The data was for only participants who switched to diuretic-containing ARB combination drug therapy from candesartan therapy at Week 14 as part of routine medical care.

Changes in Clinic Blood Pressure in the Sitting Position for Participants Who Switched to Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB)-Containing ARB Combination Drug Therapy at Week 14

Time Frame: Baseline and Last dose of ARB Combination Drug (up to Month 6)

Changes in clinic blood pressure (systolic blood pressure -SBP and diastolic blood pressure -DBP) in the sitting position measured at last dose of ARB combination drug (up to Month 6) relative to baseline were reported. The data was for only participants who switched to calcium channel blocker (CCB)-containing ARB combination drug therapy from candesartan therapy at Week 14 as part of routine medical care.

Changes in Clinic Blood Pressure in the Sitting Position

Time Frame: Baseline, Month 3 and Last dose of Candesartan (up to Month 6)

Changes in clinic blood pressure (systolic blood pressure -SBP and diastolic blood pressure -DBP) in the sitting position measured at Month 3, last dose of candesartan (up to Month 6) relative to baseline were reported.

Changes in Clinic Blood Pressure in the Sitting Position for Participants Who Continued Candesartan Therapy at Week 14

Time Frame: Baseline, Month 3 and Last dose of Candesartan (up to Month 6)

Changes in clinic blood pressure (systolic blood pressure -SBP and diastolic blood pressure -DBP) in the sitting position measured at Month 3, last dose of candesartan (up to Month 6) relative to baseline in only participants who continued candesartan therapy at Week 14 were reported.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Number of Participants Who Experience at Least One Adverse Drug Reactions(Up to Month 3)
