High Blood Pressure
Also known as hypertension (hi-per-TEN-shun), this condition usually causes no symptoms, unless the pressure gets extremely high; it's therefore often called the "silent killer". Over time the elevated pressure causes damage to the blood vessels and to the organs the vessels supply with blood. This can result in stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, heart failure and damage to the eye, called retinopathy.

Hypertension Study CSPV100AUS02
The purpose of this clinical study is to find out if taking a combination of the drugs, aliskiren and valsartan, is more effective in lowering blood pressure than taking the individual drug alone. Participants must be over 18 years old, have high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.
The combination of aliskiren and valsartan is investigational, which means that it is being tested and is not approved for sale in the United States by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Individually, aliskiren and valsartan are both approved for sale in the United States by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Trial phase: Phase 4 Participation Duration: Participants will be required to visit the study center between 5 to 8 times over a duration of 9 to 12 weeks. Protocol Number: CSPV100AUS02 |
