Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety of LCZ696A in Patients With Essential Hypertension (NCT NCT00549770)

NCT ID: NCT00549770

Last Updated: 2015-08-25

Results Overview

Sitting BP measurements were performed at screening through the end of the study at every study visit. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

Participant Flow

The study comprised 3 periods: a 4-week washout and placebo run-in period (pre-randomization), an 8-week randomized, double-blind monotherapy period, and 1-week randomized, placebo-controlled withdrawal period. In the randomized withdrawal, participants were either randomized to placebo or continued their original assigned treatment.

After successful completion of the pre-randomization period, participants were randomized 1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1 ratio to one of 8 treatment groups.

Timeframe: baseline, 8 weeks

Population: Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) Subset: The ABPM subest included all ITT participants who had both baseline and week 8 ABPM values.

Hourly mean ambulatory DBP and SBP post-dosing was calculated for each post-dosing hour over 24 hours by taking the average of the readings taken in the corresponding post-dosing hour at randomization and at week 8.
