her vital organs that can ultimately lead to heart failure[6]. At present, high blood pressure is estimated to affect about one in four of all adults in the US, while approximately one billion people worldwide suffer from the condition. The number of people with high blood pressure is expected to reach nearly 1.6 billion by 2025[7].
Study details
This trial was a randomized, double-blind, multicenter study that compared the efficacy and safety of two doses of Exforge in patients with high blood pressure who had not reached goals with a single medicine. A total of 894 patients, of whom 145 (16%) had type 2 diabetes, were randomized to either Exforge (valsartan/amlodipine) 160/5 mg (n=443) or Exforge 160/10 mg (n=451). The majority of patients had previously taken either a calcium channel blocker (CCB), angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE), beta blocker or diuretic. The primary endpoint measured the proportion of patients after eight and 16 weeks who reached the recommended treatment goals of blood pressure of <140/90 mmHg or a more aggressive goal of <130/80 mmHg.
