Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of LCI699 With Respect to Effect on the Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)-Stimulated Cortisol Response Following ACTH Stimulation in Hypertensive Participants [Up to Week 6]

    As per the protocol, MTD is the dose at which 4 participants exhibited ACTH-stimulated cortisol results <400 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L). The change in the distribution across the treatments were analyzed using 1- way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for continuous variables.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. LCI699 Exposure-response Relationship on Cortisol Levels Following ACTH Stimulation in Hypertensive Participants [Up to Week 6]

    Exposure-response relationship was assessed using ACTH stimulation test. Tests were done 2 hours after study drug administration (i.e., at peak LCI699 concentrations). An increase in cortisol greater than >500 nmol at 60 minutes after ACTH administration was expected.

  2. LCI699 Plasma Concentration Post LCI699 Administration at Day 7 [Predose and 3 hours post-dose on Day 7]

  3. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of LCI699 [Days 7, 28: Pre-dose and 3 hours post-dose; Day 30: Pre-dose; Day 42: Pre-dose and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8-hours post-dose]

  4. Time of Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of LCI699 [Days 7, 28: Pre-dose and 3 hours post-dose; Day 30: Pre-dose; Day 42: Pre-dose and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8-hours post-dose]

  5. Area Under the Concentration Time Curve From Time 0 to 8 Hours Post LCI699 Administration (AUC0-8) [Day 42: Pre-dose and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8-hours post-dose]

  6. Area Under the Concentration Time Curve Over the Dosing Interval (AUC0-τ) for LCI699 [Days 7, 28: Pre-dose and 3 hours post-dose; Day 30: Pre-dose; Day 42: Pre-dose and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8-hours post-dose]

  7. Apparent Terminal Half-life (T1/2) of LCI699 [Days 7, 28: Pre-dose and 3 hours post-dose; Day 30: Pre-dose; Day 42: Pre-dose and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8-hours post-dose]

  8. Number of Participants With Adverse Event (AEs) [Up to 8 weeks]

    An AE is 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.

  9. Percentage of Participants With a Mean Sitting Systolic Blood Pressure (MSSBP) Response and MSSBP Control at Week 6 Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF), as Measured by Office Blood Pressure (OBP) [Week 6]

    Automated arterial BP determinations was made with an automated BP device (such as the Omron BP monitor) in accordance with the Guidelines for management of hypertension: report of the 4th working party of the British Hypertension Society, 2004-BHS IV. Sitting and standing blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) measurements were performed. MSSBP response was defined as the percentage of participants with a MSSBP <140 mmHg or a >=20 mmHg reduction from baseline. MSSBP control was defined as the percentage of participants with a MSSBP <140 mmHg for non-diabetic participants and <130mHg for diabetic participants.

  10. Percentage of Participants With a Mean Sitting Diastolic Blood Pressure (MSDBP) Response and MSDBP Control at Week 6 LOCF, as Measured by OBP [Week 6]

    Automated arterial BP determinations was made with an automated BP device (such as the Omron BP monitor) in accordance with the Guidelines for management of hypertension: report of the 4th working party of the British Hypertension Society, 2004-BHS IV. Sitting and standing BP and HR measurements were performed. 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 for non-diabetic participants and <80mHg for diabetic participants.
