Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Efficacy Evaluation Change from baseline in nocturnal BP (systolic BP and diastolic BP) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Efficacy Evaluation 1) Change from baseline in sitting BP (office BP and home BP before early morning medication and bedtime: systolic BP and diastolic BP) 2) Change from baseline in nocturnal BP (systolic BP and diastolic BP) measured with a home wrist BP monitor 3) Time courses of sitting BP and nocturnal BP 4) Achievement ratio of target BP level for sitting BP and nocturnal BP at Week 12 5) Change from baseline in urinary albumin/creatinine ratio 6) Change from baseline in NT-proBNP and normalization rate (= 5.5 mEq/L => 6.0 mEq/L 4) Time course of serum potassium level 5) Time course in pulse rate and change from baseline in pulse rate | — |
