Brief Summary: Blood pressure in hypertensive patients is rarely controlled to an optimal level by one drug alone often a combination of two or more drugs is essential to achieve a sufficient antihypertensive effect Therefore in Japanese Society of Hypertension JSH 2009 combination therapy is recommended In JSH 2009 it is advised to start the combination therapy at a low dose and to increase the dosage when the antihypertensive effect is not sufficient In the Japanese long-term safety study 259 patients received the T40A5 mg fixed-dose combination FDC and after 6 weeks treatment 48 patients of them could not control their blood pressure DBP 90 U09-2494-01 For those patients who cannot control their blood pressure with T40A5 mg FDC a switch to a higher dose such as T80A5 mg is recommended

In the overseas 4x4 factorial design trial a clinically meaningful difference of the blood pressure lowering effect between T80A5 mg free combination and T40A5 mg free combination was shown U07-3503-02 But the sponsor has no data that verifies this difference in Japanese patients

Thus this clinical trial is being conducted to investigate the antihypertensive effect and safety of high dose T80A5 mg FDC compared with low dose T40A5 mg FDC in Japanese patients with essential hypertension In this trial a multi-centre randomised double-blind double-dummy active-controlled parallel group comparison method is employed
