Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Treatment, Randomized, Double-Blind, Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Intervention(s) in this Clinical Trial

• Drug: Amlodipine/benazepril

Primary Measures

• Time from baseline to the achievement of first treatment success (defined as achieving a blood pressure (BP) <130/80 mm Hg). The proportion and cumulative proportion of patients who achieved first treatment success were also determined.

Secondary Measures

• change from baseline in sitting diastolic BP at Week 24

• change from baseline in urinary protein excretion at Week 24
• change from baseline in HbA1c at Week 24
• change from baseline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (EGFR) at Week 24

Inclusion Criteria:

• African-American
• males and females
• current diagnosis of type 2 diabetes documented by medical history;
• mean sitting diastolic blood pressure of ≥ 90 and ≤ 110 mm Hg;
• HbA1C ≤ 9.5%

Exclusion Criteria:

• having unilateral or bilateral renal artery stenosis;
• having clinically significant cardiac dysrhythmias;
• having a significant history of coronary artery disease within the past 6 months;
• having a history or diagnosis of congestive heart failure (CHF);
