Participant Flow

The study population included male and female participants 1 to \<6 years of age with mild to moderate hypertension. The participants were recruited during the time period from 04 November 2004 to 07 August 2008 at pediatric clinics in the USA, Puerto Rico and Europe.

One to 2 weeks following a screening evaluation, participants underwent a 1-week, single-blind, placebo run-in period to reduce the variability in the baseline blood pressure measurements and to stabilize any concurrent antihypertensive medications.
