Brief Summary

  1. 1.Objectives and Hypothesis
  2. 2.Objectives:
  3. 3.Hypotheses The incidence of recurrent stroke will be lower in a strict BP control group having lower BP target: \<120/80 mmHg\* than in a standard BP control group having BP target \<140/90 mmHg or \<130/80 mmHg for current DM/CKD/MI in patients with hypertension.
  4. 4.Study design This will be a multicenter, randomized, open-label study. The study consists of a screening period, a titration period and a follow-up period. The screening period is a period between the date of consent and the enrollment date. Hypertensive patients with history of stroke are randomly assigned to either the strict BP control group having the target of \<120/80 mmHg or the standard BP control group having the target of \<140/90 mmHg without current DM, CKD or MI and \<130/80 mmHg with current DM, CKD or MI. The titration period is the period finding a treatment which achieves target BP, and 24 weeks at maximum. Patients will be treated with stepwise multi-drug therapy using an angiotensin-receptor antagonist, diuretic, calcium channel blocker and aldosterone antagonist. The participants will be observed under the BP management for their respective BP target. The study will be continued until the number of patients with the first recurrent stroke reaches a total of 330 between two groups. The follow-up period will be 3 years.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • the prevention of recurrent stroke.

    Hypertensive patients with history of stroke are treated with stepwise multi-drug therapy to achieve BP target less than 120/80 mmHg in the strict BP group and BP target less than 140/90 mmHg or less than 130/80 mmHg for patients with DM/CKD/old MI in the standard BP group. The participants under the BP treatment achieving their respective BP target will be followed for recurrence of stroke. The study continues until the number of patients with the first recurrent stroke reaches a total of 339 between the two groups.

    Until the first recurrent stroke reaches a total of 339 between the two groups

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • The incidence of events other than stroke

    Until the first recurrent stroke reaches a total of 339 between the two groups

EXPERIMENTAL

The incidence of recurrent stroke will be lower in a strict BP control group having lower BP target: less than 120/80 mmHg\* than in a standard BP control group having BP target less than 140/90 mmHg or less than 130/80 mmHg for current DM/CKD/old MI in patients with hypertension. * This study uses BP target: less than 120/80 mmHg that is sat up for this study rather than the BP target recommended in the Guidelines for the management of hypertension, Japanese Society of Hypertension 2009. * BP management is strongly recommended in patients with hypertension, DM, and/or CKD for prevention of recurrent stroke in the Japanese guidelines for the management of stroke 2009.

Drug: Losartan, Losartan and HCTZ, Amlodipine , Spironolactone

Interventions

\<Study drugs and treatment steps\> Step 1: Losartan 50 mg in principle (other ARB is usable) Step 2: Combination drug containing losartan 50 mg and hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg Step 3: Combination drug containing losartan 50mg and HCTZ 12.5mg + amlodipine 5 mg Step 4: Losartan 50 mg + combination drug containing losartan 50 mg and HCTZ 12.5 mg + amlodipine 5 mg Step 5: Losartan 50 mg + combination drug containing losartan 50 mg and HCTZ 12.5 mg + amlodipine 10 mg Step 6: Losartan 50 mg + combination drug containing losartan 50 mg and HCTZ 12.5 mg + amlodipine 10 mg + spironolactone 25 mg
