Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Mean 24-Hour Urine Total Protein Level at Week 6Baseline, Week 6Mean urine total protein assessment included 24-hour urine collections to assess total protein excretion per 24 hours. Baseline was derived from an average of Week 0 (pre-dose) 24-hour urine collections prior to each treatment period. Week 6 was derived from an average of Week 6 24-hour urine collections for each treatment period.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Mean Systemic Arterial Blood Pressure (BP), Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) at Week 3 and 6Baseline, Week 3 and 6The 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring was performed by using a BP cuff which was attached to the participant's arm, using the same arm throughout the study, with a small monitor that comfortably sits in the pocket of participant. Mean values over 24-hour measurements at each measurement period were calculated. The change in total 24-hour ambulatory monitoring of systemic arterial BP, SBP and DBP at Week 3 and 6 relative to baseline were reported. Baseline was as an average of the pre-dose measurement for the measure collected at Week 0 of each treatment period. Week 3 and Week 6 was an average of measurement for the measure collected at Week 3 and 6 of each treatment period.
Change From Baseline in Carotid-Femoral Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) at Week 3 and 6Baseline, Week 3 and 6Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), a measure of arterial stiffness, is determined from the time taken for the arterial pulse to propagate from the carotid to the femoral artery. Baseline was defined as the pre-dose measurement for the measure collected at Week 0 of each treatment period. Week 3 and Week 6 was an average of measurement for the measure collected at Week 3 and 6 of each treatment period.

Change From Baseline in Mean 24-Hour Urine Total Protein Level at Week 6

Mean urine total protein assessment included 24-hour urine collections to assess total protein excretion per 24 hours. Baseline was derived from an average of Week 0 (pre-dose) 24-hour urine collections prior to each treatment period. Week 6 was derived from an average of Week 6 24-hour urine collections for each treatment period.

Time frame: Baseline, Week 6

Population: FAS included all participants who received at least one dose of study drug and had received at least 1 on-treatment assessment for at least 1 endpoint.
