In several patients, however, BP control is not sufficiently achieved by RA inhibitors alone, and a combination of two drugs is frequently required. It is unclear whether a combination of RA inhibitors and diuretics or CCB is more effective in reducing hypertensive target organ damage. Control of central BP has been shown to be more effective than peripheral BP in predicting cardiovascular events and target organ damage associated with hypertension. The J-CORE study is active controlled, 2-arm parallel group comparison, prospective randomized open blinded end-point (PROBE) design study. The ARB plus CCB combination therapy group is administered olmesartan 20 mg/day and azelnidipine 16 mg/day and the ARB plus diuretics combination therapy group receives olmesartan 20 mg/day and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 12.5 mg/day. At least 100 patients will be enrolled in each group and the follow up duration will be 24 weeks. The primary endpoint is to compare the changes in the central aortic BP and the ambulatory BP between the two groups. The secondary endpoint is to compare the changes in office BP, home BP, and hypertensive target organ damage between the two groups.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '85 Years', 'minimumAge': '30 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Hypertensive outpatients aged 30 years or older, and less than 85 years (at the time of informed consent), regardless of sex\n* Office systolic BP/diastolic BP \\> 140/90 mmHg in a sitting position even if on treatment with olmesartan 20 mg/day for 3 months.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Secondary hypertension or malignant hypertension\n* History of myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular accidents within 6 months prior to the screening\n* Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) done within 6 months of screening or scheduled\n* Current treatment for congestive cardiac failure (New York Heart Association \\[NYHA\\] functional class II or severer) or ejection fraction \\<40%\n* Atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter\n* Renal dysfunction (serum creatinine ≥2 mg/dl)\n* Hepatic dysfunction (AST and/or ALT ≥100 IU/l)'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00607035', 'briefTitle': 'The Japan-Combined Treatment With Olmesartan and a Calcium Channel Blocker Versus Olmesartan and Diuretics Randomized Efficacy Study (J-CORE)', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Jichi Medical University'}, 'officialTitle': 'The Japan-Combined Treatment With Olmesartan and a Calcium Channel Blocker Versus Olmesartan and Diuretics Randomized Efficacy Study (J-CORE)', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'J_Core_071226'}, 'secondaryIdInfos': [{'id': 'J_Core_071226_01'}]}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'A', 'description': 'The ARB plus CCB combination therapy group is administered olmesartan 20 mg/day and azelnidipine 16 mg/day for 6 months.', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Olmesartan medoxomil ＋Azelnidipine']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'H', 'description': 'The ARB plus Diuretics combination therapy group is administered olmesartan medoxomil 20mg/day and hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg/day for 6 months.', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Olmesartan medoxomil + Hydrochlorothiazide']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Olmesartan medoxomil ＋Azelnidipine', 'type': 'DRUG', 'otherNames': ['arm A'], 'description': 'The ARB plus CCB combination therapy group is administered olmesartan 20 mg/day and azelnidipine 16 mg/day for 6 months.', 'armGroupLabels': ['A']}, {'name': 'Olmesartan medoxomil + Hydrochlorothiazide', 'type': 'DRUG', 'otherNames': ['arm H'], 'description': 'The ARB plus Diuretics combination therapy group is administered olmesartan medoxomil 20mg/day and hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg/day for 6 months.', 'armGroupLabels': ['H']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'city': 'Tochigi', 'country': 'Japan', 'facility': 'Jichi Medical University School of Medicine', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 36.38333, 'lon': 139.73333}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Kazuomi Kario', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Jichi Medical University School of Medicine'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Jichi Medical University', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'oldNameTitle': 'Kazuomi Kario', 'oldOrganization': 'Jichi Medical University'}}}}
