Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Trough Sitting Clinic Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP)
Baseline and Week 8

The change in trough clinic sitting SBP measured at Week 8 relative to baseline. The trough is the average of the non-missing values of 3 serial trough sitting SBP measurements. Blood pressure was measured using a validated, automated device after the participant had been sitting for at least 5 minutes. Week 8 blood pressure was measured approximately 24 hours after the previous day's dose.

Number of Participants With at Least 1 Adverse Event (AE)
From the first dose of open-label study drug until 14 days (or 30 days for a serious adverse event) after the last dose of open- label study drug (up to 56 weeks).

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A serious AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in death, was life threatening, required or prolonged inpatient hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, led to a congenital anomaly/birth defect or was an important medical event that may have required intervention to prevent any of items above.

Change From Baseline in Trough, Sitting, Clinic Systolic Blood Pressure.
Baseline and Week 12.

The change in sitting trough clinic systolic blood pressure measured at week 12 or final visit relative to baseline. Trough blood pressure is the average of the non-missing values of the 3 serial trough sitting systolic blood pressure measurements.

Percentage of Participants With at Least 1 Adverse Event
From Week 0 (Day 1) to Week 52.

An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product without regard to causality.

Change From Baseline to Week 8 in Trough, Sitting, Clinic Systolic Blood Pressure.
Baseline and Week 8.

The change in trough systolic blood pressure measured at week 8 or final visit relative to baseline. Systolic blood pressure is the average of the 3 serial trough sitting systolic blood pressure measurements.

Change From Baseline in Trough, Sitting, Clinic Systolic Blood Pressure
Baseline, Week 6 and Week 10.

The change in sitting trough clinic systolic blood pressure measured at each week indicated including final visit relative to baseline. Systolic blood pressure is the average of the 3 serial trough sitting systolic blood pressure measurements.
