Group Intervention Description 1 olmesartan medoxomil (OM)+ hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) tablets olmesartan medoximil (OM)/ hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 40/25 mg + OM/HCTZ 20/25 mg matching placebo 2 olmesartan medoxomil (OM)/ hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 20mg/25mg olmesartan medoximil (OM)/ hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ)20/25 mg + OM/HCTZ 40/25 matching placebo
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in Mean Trough Sitting Diastolic Blood Pressure 8 weeks Change in mean trough sitting diastolic Blood Pressure between OM/HCTZ 20/25 mg vs. 40/25 mg, in those patients inadequately controlled on OM 40 mg monotherapy, after eight weeks of double blind treatment, as compared to baseline.
Change = Week 16 - Week 8 (baseline).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in Mean Trough Sitting Diastolic Blood Pressure From Week 8(Baseline) to Week 12 4 weeks Change = Week 12 - Week 8 (baseline).
Change in Sitting Systolic Blood Pressure 4 Weeks and 8 Weeks After Baseline. 8 weeks 4 weeks Change = Week 12 - Week 8 (baseline). 8 weeks Change = Week 16 - Week 8 (baseline).
Change in Daytime, Nighttime and 24-hour Blood Pressure Evaluated by Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring 8 Weeks After Baseline. 8 weeks Change = Week 16 - Week 8 (baseline).
Number of Participants Achieving Blood Pressure Goal. 8 weeks
