Participant Flow

This study consisted of a single-blind run-in period and a double-blind (DB) period. During the 3 to 4 week run-in, participants were assessed for randomization eligibility into the DB period. 910 participants randomized. 3 participants were mis-randomized and did not receive study treatment. Therefore, the participant flow shows 907 participants.

In the double blind period, participants were randomized in a 2:2:2:2:2:2:1 ratio to AHU377 400 mg + valsartan 320 mg, AHU377 200 mg + valsartan 320 mg, AHU377 100 mg + valsartan 320 mg, AHU377 50 mg + valsartan 320 mg,valsartan 320 mg, LCZ696 400 mg and placebo, respectively.

Timeframe: Baseline, 8 weeks

Population: Only participants of the full analysuis set (FAS), who had measurements at both baseline and week 8, were included in the analysis. The FAS included all randomized participants who received at least one dose of double-blind study medication.

Timeframe: Baseline, 8 weeks

Population: A subset of randomized participants, who had ABPM measurements at both baseline and week 8, were included in the analysis.

Twenty four hour ABPM was performed twice during the study at baseline and week 8. The second ABPM assessment was performed only in participants who had successfully completed the ABPM assessment at baseline. Dippers were defined as participants who showed a decrease of at least 10% in maSBP during the night (10pm-6am) compared with the daytime level. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
