Title Percent Change From Baseline in Mid-regional Pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) Biomarker
Description MR-proADM was analyzed at a central laboratory.
Time Frame 2, 4, 6 and 12 hours post dose on day 1; 24 hours post dose on day 2; 0, 4, 6 and 12 hours post dose on day 7

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
The HF arms only of the Pharmacodynamic (PD) analysis set, which included all participants who had no major protocol deviation with impact on PD data, were included in the analysis. MR-proADM is considered a biomarker for HF only; therefore, the HTN cohort was not assessed.
