Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Change from baseline in blood pressure (home BP [early morning]: systolic BP, diastolic BP) in the sitting position

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Efficacy 1) Change from baseline in blood pressure (office BP and home BP[bedtime]: SBP, DBP) in the sitting position 2) Trend of change from baseline in blood pressure (office BP and home BP [before early morning medication and bedtime ]: systolic BP, diastolic BP and mean BP) in the sitting position 3) Achievement ratio of target BP levels 4) Change from baseline in UACR 5) Change from baseline in CAVI 6) PD markers (PAC, PRA), blood and urine markers (Na,K,Creatinine,protein/creatinine ratio, NT-proBNP, L-FABP, NAG, beta2-MG, AGT, 8-OHdG) 2. Safety 1) Adverse ebents, Laboratory Assessment, Vital Signs, 12-lead ECG 2) Ratio of change of eGFR 3) Percentage of study subjects with serum potassium levels:5.5 mEq/L or more, 6.0 mEq/L or more
