The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of TAK-491 (azilsartan medoxomil), once daily (QD), to valsartan in participants with essential hypertension.
Hypertension affects approximately 50 million individuals in the United States. As the population ages, the prevalence of hypertension will continue to increase if broad and effective preventive measures are not implemented. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), hypertension is the most common attributable cause of preventable death in developed nations, as uncontrolled hypertension greatly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and renal failure. Despite the availability of antihypertensive treatments, hypertension remains inadequately controlled; only about one-third of patients continue to maintain control successfully. This study is being conducted to determine whether administration of azilsartan medoxomil in subjects with essential hypertension is more efficacious in reducing systolic blood pressure than valsartan. Study participation is anticipated to be approximately 7 months. Outside of the study center, participants will be required to wear an ambulatory blood pressure monitoring device at 24 hour intervals. Following completion of the 6-month double-blind treatment period, all available subjects will be offered the option to continue in a 28-week extension study with open-label azilsartan medoxomil 40 mg. For the extension study, participants will take azilsartan medoxomil 40 mg, tablets, orally, once daily for up to 28 weeks. Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg or 25 mg or any other antihypertensive (except angiotensin II receptor blockers) may be added in a step-wise fashion to maintain blood pressure within target \<140/90 mmHg for non-diabetic subjects and \<130/80 mmHg for diabetic subjects

Time frame: Baseline and Week 24.
Change From Baseline in Mean Trough Clinic Sitting Diastolic Blood Pressure
The change in mean trough clinic sitting diastolic blood pressure measured at final visit or week 24 relative to baseline. Diastolic blood pressure is the arithmetic mean of the 3 trough sitting systolic blood pressure measurements.
Time frame: Baseline and Week 24.
Change From Baseline in Daytime (6am to 10 pm) Mean Systolic Blood Pressure Measured by Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring.
The change in daytime (6am to 10pm) mean systolic blood pressure measured at week 24 relative to baseline. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring measures blood pressure at regular intervals throughout the day and night. Daytime mean is the average of all measurements recorded between the hours of 6 am and 10 pm.
