- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The Percentage of Patients Achieving Target Sitting Blood Pressure of Less Than 130/85 Baseline to week 8
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Patients With Drug-related Adverse Events (Subjective Symptoms/Objective Findings) At week 8 Drug-related adverse events are adverse events(AEs) as determined by the Investigator that can not be denied to be related to the study drugs. The relationship between adverse events and drugs were determined by the Investigator based on his/her clinical judgement. Factors used in determining relatedness included, but are not limited to, the medical history of the participant, use of concomitant medication, and the time course from drug administration to AE occurence.
