SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Core Baseline (Week 0) to Week 26

Population: Extension ITT population: All patients that had both baseline and at least 1 post-Week 12 assessment of any efficacy variable (sitting systolic/diastolic BP) during the extension. Baseline is the Week 0 value. Extension endpoint is the Week 26 or last observation after the core endpoint but before Week 26 carried forward value.

After the patient had been sitting for 5 minutes, with the back supported and both feet placed on the floor, systolic and diastolic blood pressures were measured 3 times using a calibrated standard sphygmomanometer and appropriate size cuff. The repeat sitting measurements were made at 1-2 minute intervals and the mean of these 3 sitting blood pressure measurements was used as the average sitting blood pressure for that visit. A negative number indicates lowered blood pressure.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 26

Population: The extension ITT population consisted of all extension patients that had both baseline and at least one post-Week 12 assessment of any efficacy variable (sitting systolic/diastolic blood pressure) during the extension. Patients were analyzed according to the treatment they were assigned to at the beginning of their extension.

Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) control was defined as msSBP and msDBP \< 95th percentile for gender, age, and height. After the patient had been sitting for 5 minutes, with the back supported and both feet placed on the floor, systolic and diastolic blood pressures were measured 3 times using a calibrated standard sphygmomanometer and appropriate size cuff. The repeat sitting measurements were made at 1-2 minute intervals and the mean of these 3 sitting blood pressure measurements was used as the average sitting blood pressure for that visit.

Timeframe: Core Baseline (Week 0) to Week 20

Population: ABPM population: All ITT patients who received the 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) measurements at both baseline and Week 20. Patients were excluded if their baseline ABPM was measured after active treatment dose (considered invalid baseline).

24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) was conducted once during the extension in a subset of patients at selected centers. For all patients who completed a qualifying ABPM at baseline, an ABPM was to be performed at Week 20. The ABPM monitor was placed on the non-dominant arm.
