Primary Outcome Measures:
- Trough Seated Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) Control [ Time Frame: End of study (34 weeks or last value on treatment) ]The number of patients who reach the target DBP of <90mmHg
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Trough Seated Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) Control [ Time Frame: End of study (34 weeks or last value on treatment) ]The number of patients who reach the target SBP of <140mmHg
- Change From Baseline in Trough Seated Diastolic Blood Pressure [ Time Frame: End of study (34 weeks or last value on treatment) ]Change from baseline to the end of study in trough DBP. Baseline is defined as visit 3 of trial 1235.5.
- Change in DBP From Last Available Trough in 1235.5 to Last Available Trough in 1235.7 [ Time Frame: End of study (34 weeks or last value on treatment) ]The difference between the last available troughs represents the additional reduction in DBP in this study
- Change From Baseline in Trough Seated Systolic Blood Pressure [ Time Frame: End of study (34 weeks or last value on treatment) ]Change from baseline to the end of study in trough SBP. Baseline is defined as visit 3 of trial 1235.5.
- Change in SBP From Last Available Trough in 1235.5 to Last Available Trough in 1235.7 [ Time Frame: End of study (34 weeks or last value on treatment) ]The difference between the last available troughs represents the additional reduction in SBP in this study
- Trough Seated DBP Response [ Time Frame: End of study (34 weeks or last value on treatment) ]The number of patients who reach the target DBP of <90mmHg or had a reduction in DBP >= 10mmHg
- Trough Seated SBP Response [ Time Frame: End of study (34 weeks or last value on treatment) ]The number of patients who reach the target SBP of <140mmHg or had a reduction in SBP >= 15 mmHg
- Trough Blood Pressure (BP) Normality Classes [ Time Frame: End of study (34 weeks or last value on treatment) ]The number of patients who reach predefined BP categories
- Time to First Additional Antihypertensive [ Time Frame: At any point during open-label treatment ]Time from first intake of medication to first intake of an antihypertensive other than the study drug
- Patients Requiring Additional Antihypertensive Therapy to Achieve DBP Control [ Time Frame: At any point during open-label treatment ]The number of patients with DBP control (DBP<90 mmHg). Last trough DBP measurement before taking additional antihypertensive compared to last trough DBP taken on treatment
- Additional Reduction in DBP by Use of Additional Antihypertensive Therapy [ Time Frame: At any point during open-label treatment ]Difference in trough DBP from last visit before add-on therapy and last visit during 1235.7
- Additional Reduction in SBP by Use of Additional Antihypertensive Therapy [ Time Frame: At any point during open-label treatment ]Difference in trough SBP from last visit before add-on therapy and last visit during 1235.7
- Trough DBP Control Pre- and Post- Uptitration [ Time Frame: At any point during open-label treatment ]The number of patients with DBP control (DBP<90 mmHg). Last trough DBP measurement before uptitration to Telmisartan 80mg compared to first trough DBP taken after uptitration
