Trial Outcomes & Findings for Dose-ranging Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Tolerability of MK0736 in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Hypertension (0736-007) (NCT NCT00806585)

NCT ID: NCT00806585

Last Updated: 2015-09-21

Results Overview

Participant remained in the sitting position for at least 5 minutes before any blood pressure readings were recorded. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were determined by taking 6 replicate measurements obtained 1 to 2 minutes apart. First reading was discarded and the average of the last 5 measurement was recorded.
