Summary
Brief summary
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that telmisartan 80 mg combined with hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg (T80/H12.5) is at least as effective and possibly superior to valsartan 160 mg combined with hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg (V160/H12.5) in lowering mean ambulatory systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) during the last 6 hours of the 24-hour dosing interval at the end of a 10-week treatment period in mild-to-moderate hypertensive, overweight or obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
