Brief Summary:

The primary objective of this study is to investigate incremental cost effectiveness of Nifedipine CR and Amlodipine in combination therapy with Valsartan for the treatment of essential hypertensive patients.

To investigate incremental cost effectiveness, primary variables are mean treatment cost and achievement rate to target blood pressure level at the end of double-blind treatment period.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Mean treatment cost* for 16-week of double-blind treatment period [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ]
    * Including treatment cost for the drug related AEs. The sponsor will calculate the cost based on the tariff of health insurance scores.

  2. Proportion of participants** achieving target blood pressure at the end of double-blind treatment period [ Time Frame: at week 16 ]
    **For subjects aged under 60 years: SBP<130mmHg and DBP<85mmHg, for subjects aged 60 years or over: SBP<140mmHg and DBP<90mmHg (SBP Systolic blood pressure, DBP Diastolic blood pressure)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Treatment cost per subject to achieve the target blood pressure (Total costs for the double-blind treatment period / Number of patients who achieve the target blood pressure at the end of double-blind treatment period) [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ]
  2. The change in blood pressure (SBP and DBP) from the baseline (end of pretreatment period) . [ Time Frame: baseline to week 16 ]
  3. Proportion of participants for each age group to target blood pressure level [ Time Frame: at week 16 ]
  4. Incidence of treatment-emergent drug-related adverse events [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ]
  5. Safety variables will be summarized using descriptive statistics based on adverse events collections [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ]
