Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent Change From Baseline in Calculated Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) to Week 6Baseline; 6 weeks

Percent change from Baseline was calculated as the (\[post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value\] divided by the Baseline value) x 100. Baseline was defined as the mean of the values from Week -1 and Week 0. Percent change from Baseline in LDL-C was analyzed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with a term for treatment and Baseline value as a covariate. The Week 6 endpoint was the last available post-Baseline value. For the Week 6 endpoint, missing values at Week 6 were imputed using the last observation carried forward (LOCF) procedure, with only post-Baseline values carried forward. Modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) Population is defined as all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug, had a Baseline assessment, and had at least 1 post-Baseline assessment, excluding any assessment taken more than 2 days after a dose of study drug

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Mean 24-hour Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) to Week 6Baseline; 6 weeks

Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Baseline was defined as the last value prior to the first dose of study medication. Change from Baseline was calculated using an ANCOVA model with a term for treatment and Baseline value as a covariate. The Week 6 endpoint was the last available post-Baseline value.

Change From Baseline in 24-hour Mean Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) to Week 6Baseline; 6 weeks

Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Baseline was defined as the last value prior to the first dose of study medication. Change from Baseline was calculated using an ANCOVA model with a term for treatment and Baseline value as a covariate. The Week 6 endpoint was the last available post-Baseline value.

Change From Baseline in Mean Daytime SBP to Week 6Baseline; 6 weeks

Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Baseline was defined as the last value prior to the first dose of study medication. Change from Baseline was calculated using an ANCOVA model with a term for treatment and Baseline value as a covariate. Daytime measurements were defined as those taken from 7 AM to 10 PM (\>7 AM and ≤10 PM). The Week 6 endpoint was the last available post-Baseline value.

Change From Baseline in Mean Daytime DBP to Week 6Baseline; 6 weeks

Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Baseline was defined as the last value prior to the first dose of study medication. Change from Baseline was calculated using an ANCOVA model with a term for treatment and Baseline value as a covariate. Daytime measurements were defined as those taken from 7 AM to 10 PM (\>7 AM and ≤10 PM). The Week 6 endpoint was the last available post-Baseline value.

Change From Baseline in Mean Nighttime SBP to Week 6Baseline; 6 weeks

Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Baseline was defined as the last value prior to the first dose of study medication. Change from Baseline was calculated using an ANCOVA model with a term for treatment and Baseline value as a covariate. Nighttime measurements were defined as those taken from 10 PM to 7 AM (\>10 PM and ≤7 AM). The Week 6 endpoint was the last available post-Baseline value.

Change From Baseline in Mean Nighttime DBP to Week 6Baseline; 6 weeks

Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Baseline was defined as the last value prior to the first dose of study medication. Change from Baseline was calculated using an ANCOVA model with a term for treatment and Baseline value as a covariate. Nighttime measurements were defined as those taken from 10 PM to 7 AM (\>10 PM and ≤7 AM). The Week 6 endpoint was the last available post-Baseline value.

Percent Change From Baseline in High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein (hsCRP) to Week 6Baseline; 6 weeks

A non-parametric analysis was performed for hsCRP parameters. Percent change from Baseline was calculated as the (\[post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value\] divided by the Baseline value) x 100. Baseline was defined as the last value prior to the first dose of study medication. If hsCRP was \<0.2, 0.1 was imputed for analysis. The Week 6 endpoint was the last available post-Baseline value.

Change From Baseline in Sitting Cuff SBP to Week 6Baseline: 6 weeks

Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Baseline was defined as the mean of the values from Weeks -1 and 0. Change from Baseline was calculated using an ANCOVA model with a term for treatment and Baseline value as a covariate. Three BP measurements were collected at least 3 minutes apart, and the mean of the second and third measurements was calculated and used for summary and analysis. The Week 6 endpoint was the last available post-Baseline value.
