Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Hypertension

Registration Number
NCT00624065
Lead Sponsor
GlaxoSmithKline
Brief Summary

Randomized, double-blind, parallel group, multicenter study of subjects with Stage 1 or 2 essential hypertension who are not at target blood pressure (\<140/90mmHg) at Baseline. Subjects will be randomized to receive either carvedilol CR + lisinopril or lisinopril + placebo. Subjects will be uptitrated over a 6 week period until target blood pressure (\<140/90mmHg) is met. The primary objective of the study is to compare the proportion of subjects who achieve target blood pressure after 6 weeks of treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Mean Sitting Cuff Blood Pressure <140/90 mmHg at the End of 6 Weeks of TreatmentWeek 6

Sitting cuff blood pressure was calculated as the mean of three measurements taken approximately 2 minutes apart, and before the morning dose.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean Change From Baseline in Sitting Systolic Blood Pressure (sSBP) and Sitting Diastolic Blood Pressure (sDBP) at Week 6Baseline and Week 6

Mean change was calculated as Week 6 values minus Baseline values.
