Study Summary

To investigate, in a double-blind randomized controlled trial, whether initiating treatment with ultra-low-dose quadruple-combination therapy ("LDQT") will lower office blood pressure more effectively, and with fewer side effects, compared to initiating standard dose monotherapy as per current guidelines in patients with hypertension. Primary hypothesis: A combination pill comprising four types of blood pressure lowering medications, each at one-quarter standard doses, will lower office blood pressure more effectively than initiating patients with standard dose monotherapy as per contemporary clinical practice guideline recommendations.

Primary Outcome

Mean change (from baseline) in automated office systolic blood pressure adjusted for baseline values.

Interventions

  • DRUG Candesartan
  • DRUG QUARTET LDQT
