Mean change from baseline in (a) sitting diastolic blood pressure (SiDBP) and (b) sitting systolic blood pressure (SiSBP) over 52 weeks in the L50/H12.5 filter study (full analysis set (FAS) population). (a) SiDBP. (b) SiSBP. H12.5, hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg; L50; losartan 50 mg; L100, losartan 100 mg The solid line shows time course of mean blood pressure in subjects who received L50/H12.5 in the double-blind (DB) period and L100/H12.5 in the extension period. The dotted line shows time course of mean blood pressure in subjects received L100/H12.5 in the DB period and L100/H12.5 in the extension period. After week 12, other antihypertensive agents were permitted at the investigator’s discretion if the subject’s SiSBP was >140 mm Hg and/or their SiDBP was >90 mm Hg. If a subject received any other antihypertensive agent, then the BP measurements taken after the introduction of other agents were excluded from the long-term efficacy analyses.
