About

The purpose of this study is to compare the antihypertensive effect of azilsartan medoxomil plus chlorthalidone, once daily (QD), to olmesartan medoxomil plus hydrochlorothiazide in participants with moderate to severe hypertension.

Full description

According to the World Health Organization, hypertension is the most common attributable cause of preventable death in developed nations, as uncontrolled hypertension greatly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and renal failure. As the population ages, the prevalence of hypertension will continue to increase if broad and effective preventive measures are not implemented. Despite the availability of antihypertensive agents, hypertension remains inadequately controlled; only about one third of patients continue to maintain control successfully.

Treatment algorithms for essential hypertension commonly include thiazides or thiazide-like diuretics, either alone or as part of combination treatment. Chlorthalidone is a commercially available, orally administered thiazide-type diuretic agent.

TAK-491 (azilsartan medoxomil) is an angiotensin II receptor blocker developed by Takeda to treat participants with essential hypertension.

This study will compare the safety and tolerability of azilsartan medoxomil plus chlorthalidone (TAK-491CLD) fixed-dose combination to olmesartan medoxomil plus hydrochlorothiazide fixed-dose combination.

  4. Has an upper arm circumference less than 24 cm or greater than 42 cm.
  5. Has secondary hypertension of any etiology.
  6. Has a recent history of myocardial infarction, heart failure, unstable angina, coronary artery bypass graft, percutaneous coronary intervention, hypertensive encephalopathy, cerebrovascular accident, or transient ischemic attack.

  14. Has an alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase level of greater than 2.5 times the upper limit of normal, active liver disease, or jaundice.
  15. Has any other known serious disease or condition that would compromise safety, might affect life expectancy, or make it difficult to successfully manage and follow the participant according to the protocol.
  16. Has known hypersensitivity to angiotensin II receptor blockers or thiazide-type diuretics or other sulfonamide-derived compounds.
  17. Has a history of drug abuse or a history of alcohol abuse within the past 2 years.
