Recruitment details

Recruitment occured from August 2008 through November 2009 at 76 US sites.

Pre-assignment details

Placebo washout phase was required for patients currently on anti-hypertensives at screening followed by a losartan or lisinopril run-in phase before assignment to Placebo or Nebivolol arms. Patients who were untreated at screening started the study at the open-label lead-in phase.
