Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Mean Systolic Blood Pressure during 24 hours | 8 weeks from baseline visit | To compare the difference of Mean Systolic Blood Pressure during 24 hours at 8 weeks from baseline visit |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Mean Diastolic Blood pressure and Systolic Blood pressure during daytime or nighttime | 8 weeks from baseline visit | To compare the difference of Diastolic Blood pressure and Systolic Blood pressure during daytime or nighttime at 8 weeks from baseline visit |
| Sitting Diastolic Blood pressure and Systolic Blood pressure | 8 weeks from baseline visit | To compare the difference of Sitting Diastolic Blood pressure and Systolic Blood pressure at 8 weeks from baseline visit |
| Trough-to-peak ratio | 8 weeks from baseline visit | Trough-to-peak ratio of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure measured by ABP(Ambulatory Blood Pressure) monitor |
| Smoothness index | 8 weeks from baseline visit | Smoothness index of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure measured by ABP monitor |
| Mean Diastolic Blood Pressure during 24 hours | 8 weeks from baseline visit | To compare the difference of Mean Diastolic Blood Pressure during 24 hours at 8 weeks from baseline visit |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Adverse changes in electrocardiography(ECG) | about 10~11weeks from screening visit | Adverse changes in ECG are collected as a safety measure. As a categorical data, adverse changes in ECG present frequency and percentage for each category. |
| Adverse changes in laboratory test results | about 10~11weeks from screening visit | Adverse changes in laboratory test results are collected as a safety measure. As a continuous data group for each test visit, adverse changes in laboratory test results present descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, etc.) |
| Adverse events | about 10~11weeks from placebo run-in visit | Adverse evnt(AE)s are collected as a safety measure. All AEs are arranged based on severity, relevance to the investigational drug and serious adverse event each. |
