A Study of VAH631 in Patients With Essential Hypertension (Factorial Study) - Full Text View

Sponsor:	Novartis
Information provided by:	Novartis
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00311740

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of the fixed combination of valsartan+hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) on blood pressure reduction with valsartan and HCTZ alone and whether the combination treatments are safe and well tolerated. The study aims to establish a dose response relationship for both monotherapies and the combinations.

This study is being conducted in Japan.
