Treatment policy strategy was used for the intercurrent event of using antihypertensive escape medication, i.e., all collected data for SBP assessed by ABPM, were included in the analysis for this endpoint.
Olmesartan: Time-adjusted Change From Baseline Through Month 6 in Office SBP - All Collected Data	Baseline through Month 6	Time-adjusted change was defined as the AUC of BP change from baseline divided by the duration of the time period. LS mean and SE were calculated using a MMRM approach. Treatment policy strategy was used for the intercurrent event of using antihypertensive escape medication, i.e., all collected data for office SBP were included in the analysis for this endpoint.
Olmesartan: Percentage of Participants With 24-hour Mean SBP <130 mmHg and/or Reduction From Baseline ≥20 mmHg Assessed by ABPM Without Escape Antihypertensive Medications at Month 6	Month 6	24-hour ABPM device was programmed to take readings every 20 minutes during the day (6 am to 9:59 pm) and every 30 minutes during the night (10 pm to 5:59 am). An ABPM was considered adequate if: 1. the number of successful daytime readings were ≥33; 2. the number of successful nighttime readings were ≥11; 3. no more than 3 hours are not represented (i.e., 3 sections of 60 minutes where 0 valid readings were obtained). To summarize the 24-hour ABPM, the hourly adjusted mean was calculated. Hourly adjusted mean was the average of BP for each hour of the day. The 24-hour mean was average of the hourly means.
Olmesartan: Change From Baseline at Month 3 in 24-hour Mean DBP, Assessed by ABPM - Censored Data	Baseline and Month 3	24-hour ABPM device was programmed to take readings every 20 minutes during the day (6 am to 9:59 pm) and every 30 minutes during the night (10 pm to 5:59 am). An ABPM was considered adequate if: 1. the number of successful daytime readings were ≥33; 2. the number of successful nighttime readings were ≥11; 3. no more than 3 hours are not represented (i.e., 3 sections of 60 minutes where 0 valid readings were obtained). To summarize the 24-hour ABPM, the hourly adjusted mean was calculated. Hourly adjusted mean was the average BP for each hour of the day. The 24-hour mean was average of the hourly means. LS mean and SE were calculated using a MMRM approach. Hypothetical strategy was used for the intercurrent event of using antihypertensive escape medication, i.e., data for DBP assessed using ABPM, while participants were on and within 2 weeks after stopping any escape medication were censored for this endpoint.
Olmesartan: Change From Baseline at Month 3 in Office DBP - Censored Data	Baseline and Month 3	The mean office BP in the sitting position was used for the analysis. Office BP in the sitting position was collected with a set of 4 replicates. The average of the last 3 replicates was calculated and used for analysis. LS mean and SE were calculated using a MMRM approach. Hypothetical strategy was used for the intercurrent event of using antihypertensive escape medication, i.e., data for office DBP assessed while participants were on and within 2 weeks after stopping any escape medication was censored for this endpoint.
Olmesartan: Time-adjusted Change From Baseline Through Month 3 in 24-hour Mean SBP and DBP, Assessed by ABPM - Censored Data	Baseline through Month 3	Time-adjusted change was defined as the AUC of BP change from baseline divided by the duration of the time period. LS mean and SE were calculated using a MMRM approach.
