Abstract

The current study assesses the antihypertensive efficacy and safety of the investigational angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), azilsartan medoxomil (AZL‐M), compared with placebo and the ARB olmesartan medoxomil (OLM‐M). This randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, multicenter study assessed change from baseline in mean 24‐hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure (SBP) following 6 weeks of treatment. Patients with primary hypertension ( n =1275) and baseline 24‐hour mean ambulatory systolic pressure ≥130 mm Hg and ≤170 mm Hg were studied; 142 received placebo and the remainder received 20 mg, 40 mg, or 80 mg AZL‐M or 40 mg OLM‐M. Mean age of participants was 58±11 years, baseline mean 24‐hour SBP was 146 mm Hg. Dose‐dependent reductions in 24‐hour mean SBP at study end occurred in all AZL‐M groups. Reduction in 24‐hour mean SBP was greater with AZL‐M 80 mg than OLM‐M 40 mg by 2.1 mm Hg (95% confidence interval, −4.0 to −0.1; P=.038), while AZL‐M 40 mg was noninferior to OLM‐M 40 mg. The side effect profiles of both ARBs were similar to placebo. AZL‐M is well tolerated and more efficacious at its maximal dose than the highest dose of OLM‐M.

  • 24-hour ABPM studies demonstrate that azilsartan medoximil provides on average an additional 4 to 8 mm Hg further SBP reduction over other ARBs (eg, valsartan and olmesartan) or the ACE inhibitor ramipril.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
