Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy of Aliskiren in Pediatric Hypertensive Patients 6-17 Years of Age (NCT NCT01150357)

NCT ID: NCT01150357

Last Updated: 2015-10-15

Results Overview

Sitting blood pressure was measured using a calibrated standard sphygmomanometer after the participants remained in sitting position for 5 minutes at clinic during the visit. The repeat sitting measurements were made at 1-2 minute intervals and the mean of three sSBP measurements were used as the average sitting office blood pressure for that visit.

Participant Flow

The study was conducted at 51 centers in 8 countries.

A total of 334 participants were screened and placed in screening phase of single blind placebo washout period for up to a maximum of three weeks. Out of 334, 268 participants were randomized in Phase 1 including 1 mis-randomized participants who did not receive any medication. Therefore total of 267 was enrolled in this study

Aliskiren Low (6.25/12.5/25 mg)
During Phase 1: 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.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to endpoint (Week 4 or Last observation carried forward (LOCF))

Population: The primary analysis was performed on the Full Analysis Set (FAS), defined as all participants who received at least one dose of study treatment and had at least one post-baseline assessment for primary efficacy. Here, "Number of participants analyzed" signifies participants evaluable for msSBP at Week 4 or LOCF for each arm, respectively.

Sitting blood pressure was measured using a calibrated standard sphygmomanometer after the participants remained in sitting position for 5 minutes at clinic during the visit. The repeat sitting measurements were made at 1-2 minute intervals and the mean of three sSBP measurements were used as the average sitting office blood pressure for that visit.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline up to Week 4

Population: The analysis was performed on the Safety Sets (SAF), SAF is all participants who received at least one dose of study treatment during phase 1 (baseline to week 4)

Adverse events (AEs) were defined as any unfavorable and unintended diagnosis, symptom, sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), syndrome or disease which either occurs during study, having been absent at baseline, or, if present at baseline, appears to worsen. Serious adverse events (SAEs) were defined as any untoward medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require (or prolong) hospitalization, cause persistent or significant disability/incapacity, result in congenital anomalies or birth defects, or are other conditions which in judgement of investigators represent significant hazards.

Population: The analysis was performed on the FAS population. Here, "Number of participants analyzed" signifies participants evaluable for MAP at Week 4 (or LOCF) for each arm, respectively.

MAP was defined as the average arterial pressure during a single cardiac cycle. The MAP was measured as sum of diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and one third of difference between systolic blood pressure (SBP) and DBP i.e. MAP = DBP+1/3\*(SBP-DBP).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to endpoint (Week 4 or LOCF)

Population: Analysis was performed in subset of FAS participants from selected centers who consented to undergo ABPM at baseline and at Week 4 or LOCF. Here 'Number of participants analyzed' signifies those participants evaluable for this measure at specified time points for each arm, respectively.

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) was performed over a 24-hour period using an automatic ABPM device to record the blood pressure as per study defined criteria. The participants who were selected for this evaluation wore the ABPM device for 24 hours, returned to the clinic upon completion of the 24-hour monitoring period for removal of device and BP assessments. The ABPM device was pre-set to collect readings every 20 minutes. Mean hourly systolic and diastolic blood pressure were calculated for each participant at post dosing 1 - 24 hours.
