Trial Outcomes & Findings for An Extension Study to Evaluate the Long Term Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Aliskiren Compared to Enalapril in Pediatric Hypertensive Patients 6-17 Years of Age (NCT NCT01151410)

NCT ID: NCT01151410

Last Updated: 2016-03-07

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 2 to 3 minute intervals and the mean of three sSBP measurements were used as the average sitting office blood pressure for that visit.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline - end of study (Week 52 or Last observation carried forward (LOCF)

Population: Full analysis set (FAS) included all randomized patients for this trial

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 2 to 3 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 to end of study (Week 52 or LOCF)

Population: Full analysis set (FAS) included all randomized patients for this trial

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).
