Comments

Planned interim efficacy analysis: 80 placebo and 80 high-dose ramipril subjects provided 93% power, alpha=0.032, to detect 5 mmHg difference in primary outcome. SD of 8.5 mmHg assumed. Alpha of 0.032 required for the planned interim efficacy analysis.

If study continued: 450 total subjects would provide 90% power, alpha=0.027, to detect 3 mmHg difference between placebo and combined ramipril dose groups. Alpha of 0.027 required for the final analysis.
