Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Tolerability of Valsartan in Children 6 to 17 Years of Age (NCT NCT01365481)

NCT ID: NCT01365481

Last Updated: 2016-07-13

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.

Participant Flow

A 1 arm study of valsartan but with 2 groups for analyses. The valsartan +antihypertensive group includes the patients who received background antihypertensive medication or received antihypertensive medication including amlodipine or HCTZ during the study.

These 2 groups were not randomized and considered to be 2 different populations since the patients in the valsartan+antihypertensive group had concomitant antihypertensive usage per individual patient's conditions at any time during treatment period.
