结局指标
主要结局
Change in Mean Sitting Systolic Blood Pressure (msSBP) From Baseline to End of Study (Week 8)
时间窗: Baseline to end of study (Week 8)
Blood pressure (BP) was measured at trough (24±3 hours post-dose). The arm in which the highest sitting diastolic BP was found at study entry was used for all subsequent readings. If there was \< 0.5 mmHg difference in BP between the 2 arms, the non-dominant arm was used. At each visit, after the patient was in a sitting position with the back supported and both feet placed on the floor for 5 minutes, systolic and diastolic BP were measured 3 times with an automated BP monitor and appropriate size cuff. Means of the 3 measurements were calculated. A negative change indicates lowered BP.
次要结局
- Change in Mean Sitting Diastolic Blood Pressure (msDBP) From Baseline to End of Study (Week 8)(Baseline to end of study (Week 8))
- Percentage of Patients Achieving Blood Pressure Control at the End of the Study (Week 8)(End of study (Week 8))
- Change in Mean 24-hour Ambulatory Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure From Baseline to End of Study (Week 8)(Baseline to end of study (Week 8))
