Study Arms:
- Combination Therapy: Aliskiren + Valsartan (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): To adequately blind the study, patients were required to take a total of 4 tablets/capsules a day (2 tablets and 2 capsules of study drug per day)for 8 weeks. 1 tablet of Aliskiren 150 mg + 1 tablet of placebo Aliskiren 150 mg + 1 capsule of Valsartan 160 mg + 1 capsule of placebo Valsartan 160 mg daily for 2 weeks. Forced titrated to: 2 tablets of Aliskiren 150 mg + 2 capsules of Valsartan 160 mg daily for 6 weeks
- Monotherapy: Valsartan (Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR): To adequately blind the study, patients were required to take a total of 4 tablets/capsules a day (2 tablets and 2 capsules of study drug per day) for 8 weeks. 1 capsule of Valsartan 160 mg + 1 capsule of placebo Valsartan 160 mg + 2 tablets of placebo Aliskiren 150 mg daily for 2 weeks. Forced titrated to: 2 capsules of Valsartan 160 mg + 2 tablets of placebo Aliskiren 150 mg daily for 6 weeks.
