Participants who indicated more than 1 race category are included in each category indicated, and they are also included in the multiracial category. Thus, the sum of the number of participants by racial category may be greater than the total number of participants in the treatment group.

Measure Type Secondary
Measure Title Change From Baseline in the Mean Diastolic Blood Pressure at 0 to 12 Hours After Dosing as Measured by Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring.
Measure Description The change in the 12-hour mean diastolic blood pressure measured at each visit including final visit relative to baseline. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring measures blood pressure at regular intervals throughout the day and night. The 12-hour mean is the average of all measurements recorded in the first 12 hours after dosing.
Time Frame Baseline, Week 6 and Week 10.  
Safety Issue No  

Population Description
