Previous studies using the combination of angiotensin-receptor blockers and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) have shown superior ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) reduction in study participants with stage 2 hypertension compared with monotherapy.
This multicenter, double-blind, parallel group, forced-titration study of individuals with stage 2 hypertension, compared the efficacy of valsartan and amlodipine in combination with HCTZ on ABP reduction.
After a 2-week washout period, participants (n=482) with mean office sitting systolic BP >or=160 mmHg and <or=200 mmHg were randomized to receive treatment with either valsartan 160 mg (n=241) or amlodipine 5 mg (n=241), force-titrated to a maximum dose of valsartan/HCTZ 320/25 mg or amlodipine/HCTZ 10/25 mg over 6 weeks and continued through week 10. The primary endpoint was change in mean 24-h ambulatory systolic BP from baseline to week 10.
At week 10, changes from baseline in mean office BP were significantly (P<0.0001) decreased by both valsartan/HCTZ (-34.2/-14.2 mmHg) and amlodipine/HCTZ (-34.1/-14.7 mmHg). Changes from baseline in mean 24-h ABP were significantly (P<0.0001) decreased by both valsartan/HCTZ (-21.1/-12.5 mmHg) and amlodipine/HCTZ (-18.1/-9.9 mmHg). However, treatment with valsartan/HCTZ provided significant additional systolic BP (-3.8 mmHg; P=0.0042) and diastolic BP (-2.7 mmHg; P=0.0002) reduction compared with the amlodipine/HCTZ group. The proportion of individuals reaching the office goal BP (<140/80 mmHg) were similar in the valsartan/HCTZ (55.3%) versus amlodipine/HCTZ (54.9%) group, ABP control rates for the recommended ABP goal (<130/80 mmHg) were greater (P=0.0170) in the valsartan/HCTZ group (54.3%) than the amlodipine/HCTZ group (42.7%). Both treatments were well tolerated.
On the basis of ABP monitoring but not office measurements, the fixed-dose combination of valsartan/HCTZ is a significantly more effective treatment regimen than amlodipine/HCTZ, with similar tolerability.
既往使用血管紧张素受体阻滞剂与氢氯噻嗪(HCTZ)联合治疗的研究表明,与单药治疗相比,2期高血压研究参与者的动态血压(ABP)降低效果更佳。
这项针对2期高血压患者的多中心、双盲、平行组、强制滴定研究,比较了缬沙坦和氨氯地平联合HCTZ降低ABP的疗效。
经过2周的洗脱期后,平均诊室坐位收缩压≥160 mmHg且≤200 mmHg的参与者(n = 482)被随机分配接受缬沙坦160 mg(n = 241)或氨氯地平5 mg(n = 241)治疗,在6周内强制滴定至缬沙坦/HCTZ 320/25 mg或氨氯地平/HCTZ 10/25 mg的最大剂量,并持续至第10周。主要终点是从基线到第10周24小时动态收缩压的变化。
在第10周时,缬沙坦/HCTZ组(-34.2/-14.2 mmHg)和氨氯地平/HCTZ组(-34.1/-14.7 mmHg)的平均诊室血压相对于基线的变化均显著降低(P<0.0001)。缬沙坦/HCTZ组(-21.1/-12.5 mmHg)和氨氯地平/HCTZ组(-18.1/-9.9 mmHg)的平均24小时ABP相对于基线的变化均显著降低(P<0.0001)。然而,与氨氯地平/HCTZ组相比,缬沙坦/HCTZ治疗在收缩压(-3.8 mmHg;P = 0.0042)和舒张压(-2.7 mmHg;P = 0.0002)方面有显著额外降低。达到诊室目标血压(<140/80 mmHg)的个体比例在缬沙坦/HCTZ组(55.3%)和氨氯地平/HCTZ组(54.9%)中相似,缬沙坦/HCTZ组(54.3%)达到推荐ABP目标(<130/80 mmHg)的ABP控制率高于氨氯地平/HCTZ组(42.7%)(P = 0.0170)。两种治疗的耐受性均良好。
基于ABP监测而非诊室测量,缬沙坦/HCTZ固定剂量联合治疗方案比氨氯地平/HCTZ显著更有效,且耐受性相似。
