ACCOMPLISH, 2008 trial summary    PDF trial summary

A randomised clinical trial investigating the effect of amlodipine plus benazepril versus hydrochlorothiazide plus benazepril in patients with hypertension who were at high risk for cardiovascular events

        Z

NCT00170950    Am J Hypertens 2004;17:793-801  



Studied treatment benazepril 40mg plus amlodipine 5mg daily
amlodipine dose can be increased to 10 mg daily if necessary, to attain a target blood pressure of less than 140/90 mm Hg (or a recommended target of 130/80 mm Hg for patients with diabetes or kidney disease).
Control treatment benazepril 40mg plus hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg daily
hydrochlorothiazide dose can be increased to 25 mg daily, if necessary, to attain a target blood pressure of less than 140/90 mm Hg (or a recommended target of 130/80 mm Hg for patients with diabetes or kidney disease).
Concomittant treatmentAddition of other antihypertensive agents was permitted (excluding any calcium-channel blockers, any ACE inhibitors, any angiotensin II– receptor blockers, and any thiazide diuretics). Loop diuretics taken once daily were permitted for volume management
BP target 140/90 (130/80 diabetes, kidney disease)
Female (%) 39.5%
Age 68.4 y
