Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Office-measured Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) at Study Week 8 Compared to Placebo8 Weeks

The primary outcome was defined as the change in office-measured (mean of last 2 of 5 unattended measurements using an automated oscillometric sphygmomanometer device after approximately 5 minutes of rest in the seated position) SBP from baseline to the end of Study Week 8. The primary efficacy analysis was performed using a mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) approach with defined fixed effects per the statistical analysis plan. A least-square estimate of the mean difference between each dose group and the placebo group is provided for Week 8.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in 24-hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) Mean Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and Mean Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) From Baseline to End of Treatment (EoT)8 Weeks

The ABPM SBP was measured at baseline and EoT. Change in ABPM-derived mean SBP and DBP from baseline to EoT was analyzed using an ANCOVA with a term for treatment group and a baseline mean 24-hour value as a covariate.

Week 8 Change From Baseline in Office-measured Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP)8 weeks

Change in office-measured (average of last 2 of 5 unattended measurements using an automated oscillometric sphygmomanometer device after approximately 5 minutes of rest in the seated position) DBP from baseline to the end of study at week 8.

Number of Participants With Blood Pressure ≤ 130/80 mmHg at Week 88 Weeks

Each participant was assessed as a success if the Week 8 value for SBP was ≤130 mmHg and DBP ≤80 mmHg; subjects not meeting both these thresholds were assessed as a failure. Subjects missing an assessment at Week 8 or who received rescue medications were also considered failures.
