Primary Endpoints
Change From Baseline in Mean Systolic Blood Pressure (MSBP) at Week 6 Endpoint
Baseline, week 6

Patient's blood pressure will be measured in the same position at every visit Systolic and diastolic blood pressures will be measured three times at 2-3 minute intervals. The arithmetic mean of these three blood pressure measurements will be used as the mean office blood pressure (MSBP and MDBP) at Baseline and Week 6 endpoint in Period 1 Double Blind Phase

Secondary Endpoints
Change From Baseline in Mean Diastolic Blood Pressure (MDBP) at Week 6
Baseline, Week 6
Patients Achieving <90th Percentile for Age, Gender and Height at Week 6 Endpoint in Both MSBP and MDBP
Week 6
CKD Patients Achieving Urine Albumin Creatinine Ratio Percentage Reduction (UACR) >=25% at Week 6
