In a prospective, observational, national, multicentre registry (EARLY) the efficacy and safety of Azilsartan was monitored for 12 months in comparison to ACE inhibitors (mostly Ramipril).

The objective of the study was to evaluate Efficacy: Achievement of target BP <140/90 mmHg Safety profile A total of 3849 patients were enrolled in the study and 2809 (73%) were treated with azilsartan medoxomil 40 & 80 mg and rest 1040 (27%) with ACE-inhibitors mainly ramipril 10 mg (889 patients, 85.5 %).
