Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Core Period: Change From Baseline in Mean Sitting Diastolic Blood Pressure (MSDBP) at Week 8 Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF), as Measured by Office Blood Pressure (OBP) [Baseline, Week 8]

    Automated arterial BP determinations were made after the participant was in the sitting position for 5 minutes according to the Guidelines for management of hypertension: report of the 4th working party of the British Hypertension Society, 2004-BHS IV, using an automated BP device (such as the Omron BP monitor). The change in the MSDBP was calculated comparing the Week 8 readings to the readings taken at Baseline. The change from baseline in MSDBP was analyzed using an analysis of covariance model (ANCOVA) with treatment and region as factors and baseline MSDBP level as a covariate.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Core Period: Change From Baseline in Mean Sitting Systolic Blood Pressure (MSSBP) at Week 8 LOCF, as Measured by OBP [Baseline, Week 8]

    Automated arterial BP determinations were made after the participant was in the sitting position for 5 minutes according to the Guidelines for management of hypertension: report of the 4th working party of the British Hypertension Society, 2004-BHS IV, using an automated BP device (such as the Omron BP monitor). The change in the MSSBP was calculated comparing the Week 8 readings to the readings taken at Baseline. The change from baseline in MSSBP was analyzed using an ANCOVA with treatment and region as factors and baseline MSSBP levels as a covariate.

  2. Core Period: Number of Participants With Adverse Event (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and Deaths [AEs: From start of the study drug treatment up to 8 weeks; SAE: From signing of the informed consent up to 8 weeks]

    An AE was an adverse medical event which occurs in a participant of the study and which is not necessarily in a causal relationship with the treatment the participant receives. SAEs were AEs leading to death, are life-threatening, require hospitalizations or prolongation of hospitalizations, represent an innate malformation or a congenital abnormality.

  3. Core Period: Dose Response Relationship of LCI699 as Measured by Change From Baseline in MSDBP at Week 8 [Baseline, Week 8]

    Automated arterial BP determinations were made after the participant was in the sitting position for 5 minutes according to the Guidelines for management of hypertension: report of the 4th working party of the British Hypertension Society, 2004-BHS IV, using an automated BP device (such as the Omron BP monitor). The change in the MSDBP was calculated comparing the Week 8 readings to the readings taken at Baseline. The change from baseline in MSDBP was analyzed using an analysis of covariance model (ANCOVA) with treatment and region as factors and baseline MSDBP level as a covariate.

  4. Core Period: Dose Response Relationship of LCI699 as Measured by Change From Baseline in MSSBP at Week 8 [Baseline, Week 8]

    Automated arterial BP determinations were made after the participant was in the sitting position for 5 minutes according to the Guidelines for management of hypertension: report of the 4th working party of the British Hypertension Society, 2004-BHS IV, using an automated BP device (such as the Omron BP monitor). The change in the MSSBP was calculated comparing the Week 8 readings to the readings taken at Baseline. The change from baseline in MSSBP was analyzed using an ANCOVA with treatment and region as factors and baseline MSSBP levels as a covariate.

  5. Core Period: Change From Baseline in Mean 24 Hour Ambulatory SBP at Week 8 as Measured by Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) [Baseline, Week 8]

    An ABPM measured a participant's BP over a 24-hour period readings using an automated validated monitoring device from Baseline to Week 8. The 24-hour SBP was calculated by taking the mean of all ambulatory SBP readings for the 24-hour period.

  6. Core Period: Change From Baseline in Mean 24 Hour Ambulatory DBP at Week 8, as Measured by ABPM [Baseline, Week 8]

    An ABPM measured a participant's BP over a 24-hour period readings using an automated validated monitoring device from Baseline to Week 8. The 24-hour DBP was calculated by taking the mean of all ambulatory DBP readings for the 24-hour period.

  7. Core Period: Trough to Hour Ratio for Change From Baseline in 24-hour Mean Ambulatory DBP at Week 8 [Baseline, every hour up to 24 hours post-dose at Week 8]

    Trough to peak ratios were derived from an ANCOVA model containing treatment, region, hour, treatment by hour interaction as factors with Baseline as a covariate.

  8. Core Period: Trough to Hour Ratio for Change From Baseline in 24-hour Mean Ambulatory SBP at Week 8 [Baseline, every hour up to 24 hours post-dose at Week 8]

    Trough to peak ratios were derived from an ANCOVA model containing treatment, region, hour, treatment by hour interaction as factors with Baseline as a covariate.

  9. Core Period: Change From Baseline in Plasma Aldosterone Levels at Week 8 [Baseline, Week 8]

    Change from baseline was analyzed using plasma aldosterone values measured at Baseline and Week 8.

  10. Core Period: Percentage of Participants With a MSDBP Response and MSDBP Control at Week 8 LOCF [Baseline, Week 8]

    MSDBP response was defined as the percentage of participants with a MSDBP <90 mmHg or a >=10 mmHg reduction from Baseline. MSDBP control was defined as the percentage of participants with a MSDBP <90 mmHg.

  11. Core Period: Percentage of Participants With a MSSBP Response and MSSBP Control at Week 8 LOCF [Baseline, Week 8]

    MSSBP response was defined as the percentage of participants with a MSSBP <140 mmHg or a >=20 mmHg reduction from baseline reduction from baseline. MSSBP control was defined as the percentage of participants with a MSSBP <140 mmHg.

  12. Core Period: Change From Baseline in Plasma Cortisol Levels by Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) Stimulation Test [Baseline, 1 hour post-dose at Week 8]

    The ACTH stimulation cortisol test was a standard procedure to measure the ability of adrenal cortex to respond to exogenous ACTH and directly assess the adrenal reserve. Serum cortisol concentrations at 1 hour after injection were measured to assess the maximum stimulated cortisol level achieved. Potential adrenal suppression was indicated if the serum cortisol concentration was <500 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L) at 1 hour after the injection.

  13. Withdrawal Period: Change From Week 8 to Week 9 in MSDBP at Week 9, as Measured by OBP [From Week 8 to Week 9]

    Automated arterial BP determinations were made after the participant was in the sitting position for 5 minutes according to the Guidelines for management of hypertension: report of the 4th working party of the British Hypertension Society, 2004-BHS IV, using an automated BP device (such as the Omron BP monitor). The change in the MSDBP was calculated comparing the Week 9 readings to the readings taken at Week 8 (Baseline). The change from Week 8 to week 9 in MSDBP was analyzed using an ANCOVA with treatment and region as factors and Week 8 MSDBP level as a covariate.

  14. Withdrawal Period: Change From Week 8 to Week 9 in MSSBP at Week 9 as Measured by OBP [From Week 8 to Week 9]

    Automated arterial BP determinations were made after the participant was in the sitting position for 5 minutes according to the Guidelines for management of hypertension: report of the 4th working party of the British Hypertension Society, 2004-BHS IV, using an automated BP device (such as the Omron BP monitor). The change in the MSSBP was calculated comparing the Week 9 readings to the readings taken at Week 8 (Baseline). The change from Week 8 to week 9 in MSSBP was analyzed using an ANCOVA with treatment and region as factors and Week 8 MSSBP level as a covariate.

Title Core Period: Dose Response Relationship of LCI699 as Measured by Change From Baseline in MSDBP at Week 8
Description Automated arterial BP determinations were made after the participant was in the sitting position for 5 minutes according to the Guidelines for management of hypertension: report of the 4th working party of the British Hypertension Society, 2004-BHS IV, using an automated BP device (such as the Omron BP monitor). The change in the MSDBP was calculated comparing the Week 8 readings to the readings taken at Baseline. The change from baseline in MSDBP was analyzed using an analysis of covariance model (ANCOVA) with treatment and region as factors and baseline MSDBP level as a covariate.
