Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome name:Clinical evaluation: PA in sitting position in the office (after 5 minutes of sitting). The subjects must be evaluated by the same researcher or center staff, with the same equipment and using the same arm (non-dominant) for serial BP measurements (three sitting and one standing). A mercurial sphygmomanometer (preferably) or a certified calibrated automated tensiometer with the appropriate sleeve size should be used. Measure:Clinical diastolic blood pressure (BP) in the sitting position. Timepoints:Final visit: Week 8. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome name:Clinical BP measurements should be taken approximately 24 hours after the previous dose and before dosing or blood collection on the day of double-blind treatment visits. A mercurial sphygmomanometer (preferably) or a certified calibrated automated tensiometer with the appropriate sleeve size should be used. The PA will be measured in the sitting position in the office (after 5 minutes of sitting), PA in the standing position in the office (after 2 minutes of standing). The subjects must be evaluated by the same researcher or center staff, with the same equipment and using the same arm (non-dominant) for serial BP measurements (three sitting and one standing). Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM): It will include the 24-hour, half-day median, based on measurements at 6 AM and 10 PM and minimum mean based on measurements 22 to 24 hours (after dosing). Measure:1) Systolic blood pressure in sitting position (clinical). 2) Standing systolic blood pressure (clinical). 3) Systolic and diastolic blood pressure using MAP measurements Timepoints:Final visit: Week 8. ; Outcome name:Clinical evaluation of adverse events, defined as any unwanted medical situation in a research subject receiving a pharmaceutical product. It is not necessary that the event has a causal relationship with this treatment. Safety tests in the laboratory: Hematology and serum biochemistry panels, urinalysis. ECG: A standard 12-lead ECG will be done. A qualified physician will interpret the ECG using one of the following categories: within normal limits, abnormal but not clinically significant, or abnormal and clinically significant. Vital Signs: Blood pressure and pulse. Measure:Safety of treatment: Adverse events. Safety tests in the laboratory. Electrocardiograms (ECGs). Vital signs. Timepoints:Adverse events: Days -14, - 7 and 1 and weeks 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8. Laboratory safety tests: Days -12, - 14 and 1, and weeks 4 and 8. ECG: The da | — |
