Extrait

Compare the long term efficacy of an aliskiren based treatment regimen (aliskiren 150 mg, 300 mg with optional add-on of amlodipine 5 mg/10 mg) to a HCTZ based treatment regimen (HCTZ 12.5 mg, 25 mg with optional add-on of amlodipine 5 mg/10 mg), in patients with essential hypertension by (i) testing the hypothesis of non-inferiority of the aliskiren regimen versus the HCTZ regimen on reduction of Mean Sitting Diastolic Blood Pressure (MSDBP) from baseline at 26 weeks, and (ii) the hypothesis of superiority for the aliskiren regimen versus the HCTZ regimen on reduction in MSDBP from baseline, if the hypothesis of non-inferiority is achieved
