Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Unattended seated automated office systolic blood pressure will be measured using a validated device at the end of each treatment period (Visit 5 and Visit 8)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The following secondary outcome measures are assessed using an automated sphygmomanometer, unless stated: 1. Unattended seated automated office diastolic blood pressure at the end of each treatment period (Visit 5 and Visit 8) 2. Unattended seated automated office systolic blood pressure after 28 days of each treatment period (Visit 4 and Visit 7) 3. Unattended seated automated office diastolic blood pressure after 28 days of each treatment period (Visit 4 and Visit 7) 4. Attended seated office systolic blood pressure at the end of each treatment period (Visit 5 and Visit 8) 5. Attended seated office diastolic blood pressure at the end of each treatment period (Visit 5 and Visit 8) 6. Attended seated office systolic blood pressure after 28 days of each treatment period (Visit 4 and Visit 7) 7. Attended seated office diastolic blood pressure after 28 days of each treatment period (Visit 4 and Visit 7) 8. Safety as assessed via adverse event and serious adverse event reporting at one timepoint Exploratory outcome measures are assessed using an automated sphygmomanometer, unless stated: 1. Serum creatinine and eGFR using the CKD-EPI formula will be measured from venous blood sample and analysed through standardized laboratory methods at screening (visit 1), baseline (visit 2), week 4 (visit 4), week 6 (visit 5), week 10 (visit 7), week 12 (visit 8), and week 14 (visit 9) 2. HbA1C will be measured from venous blood sample and analysed through standardised laboratory method at screening (visit 1), baseline (visit 2), week 6 (visit 5) and week 12 (visit 8) 3. Serum alanine transaminase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) will be measured from venous blood sample and analysed through standardised laboratory method at screening (visit 1), baseline (visit 2), week 4 (visit 4), week 6 (visit 5), week 10 (visit 7), week 12 (visit 8), and week 14 (visit 9) 4. Weight will be assessed using standardised scale at screening (visit 1), baseline (
