MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in MSSBP at Week 8 Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF)Baseline, Week 8Arterial blood pressure (BP) determinations were made after the participant was in the sitting position for 5 minutes according to the American Heart Association guidelines using a calibrated standard aneroid or mercury sphygmomanometer or a calibrated standard sphygmomanometer. The change in the MSSBP was calculated comparing the Week 8 readings to the readings taken at Baseline. The change from Baseline in MSSBP was analyzed using an analysis of covariance model (ANCOVA) with treatment and country as factors and Baseline MSSBP as a covariate.

Number of Participants With Adverse Event (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Hyperkalemia, and HyponatremiaAEs, Hyperkalemia, and Hyponatremia: From start of the study drug treatment up to 10 weeks; SAE: From signing of the informed consent up to 10 weeksAn AE was an adverse medical event which occurs in a participant of the study and which is not necessarily in a causal relationship with the treatment the participant receives. SAEs were AEs leading to death, are life-threatening, require hospitalizations or prolongation of hospitalizations, represent an innate malformation or a congenital abnormality. Hyperkalemia was defined as potassium level \>5.5 millimoles per liter (mmol/L). It is the medical term that describes a potassium level that's higher than normal. Hyponatremia was defined as sodium level \<135 mmol/L. It is the medical term that describes a sodium level that's lesser than normal.

Change From Baseline in MSSBP at Week 8 Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF)

Arterial blood pressure (BP) determinations were made after the participant was in the sitting position for 5 minutes according to the American Heart Association guidelines using a calibrated standard aneroid or mercury sphygmomanometer or a calibrated standard sphygmomanometer. The change in the MSSBP was calculated comparing the Week 8 readings to the readings taken at Baseline. The change from Baseline in MSSBP was analyzed using an analysis of covariance model (ANCOVA) with treatment and country as factors and Baseline MSSBP as a covariate.

Time frame: Baseline, Week 8

Population: FAS population included all participants who were randomized and received at least 1 dose of study drug. Overall number of participants analyzed signifies the number of participants who were evaluable for this measure.

Change From Baseline in MSDBP at Week 8 LOCF

Arterial BP determinations were made after the participant was in the sitting position for 5 minutes according to the American Heart Association guidelines using a calibrated standard aneroid or mercury sphygmomanometer or a calibrated standard sphygmomanometer. The change in the MSDBP was calculated comparing the Week 8 readings to the readings taken at Baseline. The change from Baseline in MSDBP was analyzed using an ANCOVA with treatment and country as factors and Baseline MSDBP as a covariate.

Time frame: Baseline, Week 8

Population: FAS population included all participants who were randomized and received at least 1 dose of study drug. Overall number of participants analyzed signifies the number of participants who were evaluable for this measure.

Number of Participants With Adverse Event (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Hyperkalemia, and Hyponatremia

An AE was an adverse medical event which occurs in a participant of the study and which is not necessarily in a causal relationship with the treatment the participant receives. SAEs were AEs leading to death, are life-threatening, require hospitalizations or prolongation of hospitalizations, represent an innate malformation or a congenital abnormality. Hyperkalemia was defined as potassium level \>5.5 millimoles per liter (mmol/L). It is the medical term that describes a potassium level that's higher than normal. Hyponatremia was defined as sodium level \<135 mmol/L. It is the medical term that describes a sodium level that's lesser than normal.

Time frame: AEs, Hyperkalemia, and Hyponatremia: From start of the study drug treatment up to 10 weeks; SAE: From signing of the informed consent up to 10 weeks

Population: Safety set population included all participants who were randomized and received at least 1 dose of study drug. Here, Number Analyzed represents the number of participants who were evaluable for that specific category.
