Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This double-blind 8 week study will evaluate dose response, efficacy (blood pressure lowering effect) and safety of aliskiren in children 6 - 17 years old with hypertension at low, mid and high weight-based doses. The low dose ranges from 6.25 mg to 25 mg of aliskiren, the mid dose ranges from 37.5 mg to 150 mg of aliskiren and the high dose ranges from 150 mg to 600 mg of aliskiren. This study is being conducted to support monotherapy registration of aliskiren for the treatment of hypertension in children 6-17 years of age.

Study Groups

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

Low Dose Aliskiren

Participants received body-weight stratified dose of aliskiren capsules (6.25/12.5/25 mg) once daily. Participants whose body weight ≥ 20 kilogram (kg) to less than \< 50 kg received 6.25 mg; ≥50 kg and \< 80 kg received 12.5 mg and ≥ 80 kg and ≤ 150 kg received 25 mg of aliskiren.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Aliskiren (6.25/12.5/25 mg)

Intervention Type DRUG

Aliskiren dispensing capsules containing minitablets (3.125 mg per minitablet). For the low dose arm, participants used one or more of the 6.25 mg capsule (containing 2 minitablets) once daily to reach the body-weight stratified dose of aliskiren.

Mid dose

Participants received body-weight stratified dose of aliskiren capsules (37.5/75/150 mg) once daily. Participants whose body weight ≥ 20 kg to \< 50 kg received 37.5 mg; ≥50 kg and \< 80 kg received 75 mg and ≥ 80 kg and ≤ 150 kg received 150 mg of aliskiren.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Aliskiren (37.5/75/150 mg)

Intervention Type DRUG

Aliskiren dispensing capsules containing minitablets (3.125 mg per minitablet). For the medium dose arm, participants used one or more of the 37.5 mg capsule (containing 12 minitablets) once daily to reach the body- weight stratified dose of aliskiren.

High dose

Participants received body-weight stratified dose of aliskiren capsules (150/300/600 mg) once daily. Participants whose body weight ≥ 20 kg to \< 50 kg received 150 mg; ≥50 kg and \< 80 kg received 300 mg and ≥ 80 kg and ≤ 150 kg received 600 mg of aliskiren.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Aliskiren (150/300/600 mg)

Intervention Type DRUG

Aliskiren dispensing capsules containing minitablets (3.125 mg per minitablet). For the high dose arm, participants used one or more of the 150 mg capsule (containing 48 minitablets) once daily to reach the body- weight stratified dose of aliskiren.
