Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- diagnosis of essential hypertension and blood pressure not adequately controlled
before informed consent (inadequate control defined as seated diastolic blood pressure
(DBP) >= 95 mmHg if on existing antihypertensive treatment or seated DBP >= 100 mmHg
if treatment-naïve).

- failure to respond to six weeks treatment with amlodipine 10mg. (Failure to respond
defined as seated DBP >= 90 mmHg.)

- able to stop any current antihypertensive therapy without unacceptable risk to the
patient.

- willing and able to provide written informed consent.
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
- pregnancy, breast-feeding, unwilling to use effective contraception (if female of
child-bearing potential).

- known or suspected secondary hypertension.

- mean seated systolic blood pressure (SBP) >=200 mmHg and/or mean seated DBP >= 120
mmHg during run-in treatment or mean seated SBP >= 180 mmHg and/or mean seated DBP >=
120 mmHg at the randomisation visit or at any time during randomised treatment.

- any clinically significant hepatic impairment or severe renal impairment bilateral
renal artery stenosis or renal artery stenosis in a solitary kidney or post post-renal
transplant.

- clinically relevant hyperkalaemia.

- uncorrected volume or sodium depletion.

- primary aldosteronism.

- hereditary fructose or lactose intolerance.

- symptomatic congestive heart failure.

- patients who have previously experienced symptoms characteristic of angioedema during
treatment with ACE inhibitors or ARBs.

- history of drug or alcohol dependency within the six months prior to signing consent.

- concurrent participation in another clinical trial or any investigational therapy
within thirty days prior to signing consent.

- hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, hemodynamically relevant stenosis of the
aortic or mitral valve.

- known allergic hypersensitivity to any component of the formulations under
investigation. (Includes known hypersensitivity to telmisartan or other ARBs or
amlodipine or other dihydropyridine CCBs.)

- non-compliance with study medication (defined as less than 80% or more than 120%)
during the open-label run-in treatment period.

- current treatment with any antihypertensive agents, whether or not prescribed for this
indication, that cannot be safely stopped (investigator¿s decision) by the start of
the run-in period.

- chronic administration of any medication known to affect blood pressure, other than
the trial medication.

- any other clinical condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would not
allow safe completion of the protocol and safe administration of telmisartan and
amlodipine.

Summary
Brief summary
The primary objective of this trial is to demonstrate that the fixed dose combination of
telmisartan 40mg + amlodipine 10mg (T40/A10) or the fixed dose combination of telmisartan
80mg + amlodipine 10mg (T80/A10) is superior in reducing blood pressure at eight weeks
compared with amlodipine 10mg monotherapy (A10) in patients who fail to respond to six weeks
treatment with A10.
