OBJECTIVE: This post hoc analysis of the Irbesartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Blood Pressure Reductions in Diverse Patient Populations (INCLUSIVE) trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of irbesartan/hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) in a diverse population of hypertensive women. METHODS: INCLUSIVE was a multicenter, prospective, open-label, single-arm trial. Adult subjects had uncontrolled systolic blood pressure (SBP 140-159 mm Hg; 130-159 mm Hg for those with type 2 diabetes mellitus [T2DM]) after > or =4 weeks of antihypertensive monotherapy. Treatment was sequential: placebo (4-5 weeks), HCTZ 12.5 mg (2 weeks), irbesartan/HCTZ 150/12.5 mg (8 weeks), and irbesartan/HCTZ 300/25 mg (8 weeks). Mean changes from baseline to treatment end in SBP and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), BP goal attainment, and safety were assessed. RESULTS: Treatment with irbesartan/HCTZ was associated with significant mean reductions in BP (intent-to-treat population, n = 370; SBP/DBP: -22.9/-10.3 +/- 14.7/8.8 mm Hg). Improvements in SBP were observed in all subgroups (p < 0.001): Caucasian (n = 207) -23.5 +/- 13.5 mm Hg; African American (n = 93) -21.0 +/- 17.2 mm Hg; Hispanics/Latino (n = 66) -23.6 +/- 14.3 mm Hg; age <65 years (n = 281) -22.5 +/- 14.7 mm Hg; age > or =65 years (n = 89) -24.3 +/- 14.5 mm Hg; T2DM (n = 97) -19.0 +/- 15.1 mm Hg; and metabolic syndrome (n = 187) -22.1 +/- 14.6 mm Hg. Overall, 82% (95% confidence interval [CI] 78%-86%) of women achieved their SBP goal, 86% (95% CI 83%-90%) achieved their DBP goal, and 76% (95% CI 71%-80%) achieved their dual SBP/DBP goal. Treatments were well tolerated in all groups. CONCLUSIONS: Irbesartan/HCTZ treatment was effective and well tolerated in a diverse population of women whose BP was previously uncontrolled on monotherapy.
