This was a phase III, multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled study, over a 12-week treatment period with a single-capsule of fixed dose combination (FDC) of Amlodipine 5 mg/ Bisoprolol fumarate 5 mg / Perindopril arginine 5 mg and free monocomponents of Amlodipine 5 mg, Bisoprolol fumarate 5 mg and Perindopril arginine 5 mg given concomitantly, in 150 patients with uncontrolled essential HT.~Patients without any non-selection criteria, already treated by anti-hypertensive monotherapy at maximal dose or either by a dual therapy at minimum dose, other than study treatment, having an uncontrolled HT defined by SBP (Systolic Blood Pressure) ≥ 140 and <160 mmHg and DBP (Diastolic Blood Pressure) ≥ 90 and <100 mmHg (in supine position) at 2 different visits (selection and inclusion) were to be selected in this study and randomized to one of two treatment groups: single-capsule combination or free therapy without any wash-out period.~For all patients, controlled blood pressure (BP) was defined as SBP < 140 mmHg and DBP < 90 mmHg.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of a fixed-dose combination in capsule of Amlodipine 5mg/ Bisoprolol fumarate 5mg/ Perindopril arginine 5mg, and free monotherapy at the same dose in patients with uncontrolled essential hypertension.
