Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| msDBP Reduction in msDBP from baseline to end of study | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| msSBP Reduction in msSBP from baseline to end of study blood pressure control Achieving blood pressure control (msSBP <140 mmHg and msDBP <90 mmHg) at endpoint successful response Achieving a successful response (msDBP < 90 mmHg or a reduction more than 10 mmHg from baseline) Safety The assessment of safety will be based primarily on the frequency of adverse events (AEs), lab abnormalities and serious adverse events (SAEs). | — |
