Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Change From Baseline in Trough Sitting Diastolic Blood Pressure (SiDBP) at Week 12 in Participants With Higher Body Mass Indices (BMI)
Baseline and Week 12 (end of Phase A)

Sitting diastolic blood pressure measured in triplicate at baseline and after 12 weeks of study drug administration. Mean value of the 3 measurements at the 2 timepoints was recorded.

Number of Participants Who Reported a Clinical Adverse Event
24 weeks

An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR'S product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR'S product, is also an AE. A clinical AE was an AE reported as a result of a clinical examination.

Number of Participants Who Reported a Laboratory Adverse Event
24 weeks

An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR'S product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product.

A laboratory AE was an AE reported as a result of a laboratory assessment or test.

Number of Participants Who Were Discontinued From Study Due to Clinical Adverse Event
