Aim. To assess the efficacy and safety of Vamloset® (amlodipine/valsartan 5/80, 5/160, 10/160 mg) and Co-Vamloset (amlodipine/valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide 10/160/12.5, 10/160/25 mg) in achieving the target levels of blood pressure (BP) in patients with stage 2–3 arterial hypertension (AH). The article discusses indicators affecting adherence to antihypertensive therapy (AHT). Material and methods. The VICTORY II Russian study in 8 clinical centers of the Russian Federation included 103 patients over 18 years of age with stage 2–3 essential AH (who haven’t been previously treated and have office systolic BP≥160 mm Hg and/or diastolic BP≥100 mm Hg or who haven’t reached the target office blood pressure with mono- or double AHT). The Full Analysis Set (FAS) for efficacy analysis included 99 patients, a FAS population with the restoration of data missed using Last Observation Carried Forward. The SF-36 questionnaire for assessing the quality of life, the effect on erectile function in men, the convenience of current therapy from the point of view of patients were analyzed after 16 weeks of treatment. The Per Protocol (PP) population included 80 patients completing the study without major protocol deviations to assess the primary parameters of efficacy. All patients with stage 2 hypertension were prescribed Vamloset® (amlodipine/valsartan 5/80 mg), with stage 3 hypertension – amlodipine/valsartan 5/160 mg. Dose titration of Vamloset® and Co-Vamloset (LLC «Krka-RUS») was carried out every 4 weeks according to the AHT schemes. Results. The study’s active phase included 100 patients aged 59.5±10.9 years (women 59%) with AH duration of 83.4±8.4 months; 83% of patients received AHT prior inclusion in the study. In the PP population, 16 week- AHT with Vamloset® or Co-Vamloset allowed reaching the target BP in 90.0% of patients (95% confidence interval [CI] 81.2–95.6). Overall clinical efficacy was achieved in 98.8% of patients (95% CI 93.2–100.0). All treatment regimens were characterized by high patient compliance. In the total group, 50% of patients rated their AHT as more convenient than they had previously used; of them, in the stage 2 AH group – 47.8%, in the stage 3 AH group – 53.3%. Metabolic neutrality with regard to at least one indicator was observed in 100% of patients, with regard to 6 indicators – in 43.9% [33.9; 54.9]. For all 98 patients included in the analysis, changes in all SF-36 scales, except for physical functioning (p=0.339), were statistically significant (p
