Primary outcomePrimary: Change From Baseline in Mean 24-hour Ambulatory Systolic Blood Pressure After 12 Weeks of Active Treatment — -25.7 mm Hg — p=<0.0001
Summary
This 14 week study will examine the ability of olmesartan medoxomil to lower the blood pressure of patients 65 years of age or older with high blood pressure. The medication being tested has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of high blood pressure.
