Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Ramipril

In period I (washout and single-blind): from visit 1 to visit 2, 2 weeks placebo run-in.

In period II (double-blind treatment, randomized): Ramipril 5 mg for 4 weeks (visit 2 - visit 3). At visit 3, medications had to be titrated to Ramipril 10 mg only if BP remained ≥ 140/90 mmHg. Double blind treatment had to be continued for another 4-week period until visit 4.

In period III (double-blind withdrawal): At visit 4, part of patients received the active treatment for 1 day. The study ended at visit 5 (48 hours later than visit 4).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Ramipril

Intervention Type DRUG

Ramipril 5 mg was given in capsule form.

Matching placebo to Aliskiren

Intervention Type DRUG

The tablet of matching placebo to aliskiren 150 mg for period I and III. In period II, matching placebo to Aliskiren was given to Ramipril active treatment arm.

Aliskiren

In period I (washout and single-blind): from visit 1 to visit 2, 2 weeks placebo run-in.

In period II (double-blind treatment, randomized): Aliskiren 150 mg for 4 weeks (visit 2 - visit 3). At visit 3, medications had to be titrated to aliskiren 300 mg only if BP remained ≥ 140/90 mmHg. Double blind treatment had to be continued for another 4-week period until visit 4.

In period III (double-blind withdrawal ): At visit 4, part of the patients received the active treatment for 1 day. The study ended at visit 5 (48 hours later than visit 4).
