Primary Outcome Measures :
- Change From Baseline (Visit 3) to End of Study (Week 8) in Mean 24 Hour Ambulatory Systolic Blood Pressure (maSBP) [ Time Frame: Baseline, week 8 ]24 hour ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABPM) were taken twice, at baseline and at the end of 8 weeks. An Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring device (ABPM) was attached to the non-dominant arm. The mean change of 24 hours maSBP from baseline to week 8 was estimated using an Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model by using treatment, region as factors, and baseline as covariate.
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Change From Baseline (Visit 3) to End of Study (Week 8) in Mean 24 Hour Ambulatory Diastolic Blood Pressure (maDBP) [ Time Frame: Baseline, week 8 ]24 hour ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABPM) were taken twice, at baseline and at the end of 8 weeks. An Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring device (ABPM) was attached to the non-dominant arm. The mean change of 24 hours maDBP from baseline to week 8 was estimated using an Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model by using treatment, region as factors, and baseline as covariate.
- Percentage of Patients Achieving Blood Pressure Control [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]Patients achieving blood pressure control were patients who, at week 8, had a mean sitting systolic blood pressure (msSBP)/ mean sitting diastolic blood pressure (msDBP) < 140/90 mmHg
- Change From Baseline (Visit 3) to End of Study (8 Weeks) in Mean Sitting Systolic Blood Pressure (msSBP) and Mean Sitting Diastolic Blood Pressure (msDBP) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 8 ]Sitting blood pressure (BP) was measured at trough (approximately 24 hours ± 3 hours post dose) and recorded at all study visits. At the first study visit, the BP was checked in both arms and the arm with higher systolic BP (SBP) was used for all subsequent readings throughout the study. At each study visit, after the patient had been sitting for five minutes, systolic and diastolic blood pressures (msSBP and msDBP) were measured four times using a standard mercury sphygmomanometer and appropriate size cuff. The repeat sitting measurements were made at 2 minute intervals and the mean of all four sitting blood pressure measurements was used as the average sitting office blood pressure for that visit. The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model used treatment, region as factors, and baseline as covariate.
- Percentage of Patients Achieving a Successful Response in Systolic Blood Pressure Reduction [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 8 ]Successful response in systolic blood pressure reduction at end of 8-week treatment was defined as msSBP <140 mmHg or a reduction in msSBP ≥ 20 mmHg from baseline.
- Pharmacokinetic (PK) of Aliskiren: The Observed Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) Following Drug Administration in Fasted vs. Fed [ Time Frame: Week 4 (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6 and 24 hrs post-dose) and week 8 (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6 and 24 hrs post-dose) ]Blood samples were collected at Week 4 and Week 8 in a subset of patients (approximately 15% of each treatment group) for PK analysis.
- Pharmacokinetic of Aliskiren: The Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to the End of the Dosing Interval Tau (AUCtau) in Fasted vs. Fed [ Time Frame: Week 4 (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6 and 24 hrs post-dose) and week 8 (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6 and 24 hrs post-dose) ]Blood samples were collected at Week 4 and Week 8 in a subset of patients (approximately 15% of each treatment group) for PK analysis.
- Pharmacokinetic of Aliskiren: Time to Reach the Maximum Concentration (Tmax) After Drug Administration in Fasted vs. Fed [ Time Frame: Week 4 (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6 and 24 hrs post-dose) and week 8 (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6 and 24 hrs post-dose) ]Blood samples were collected at Week 4 and Week 8 in a subset of patients (approximately 15% of each treatment group) for PK analysis.
- Change From Baseline to Week 8 in Plasma Renin Activity (PRA) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 8 ]Biomarkers related to hypertension-related pathophysiology were evaluated in this study, such as plasma renin activity (PRA) . Blood samples were taken at Visit 3 (baseline) and Visit 6 (week 8).The difference between baseline and week 8 was calculated.
- Change From Baseline to Week 8 in Plasma Renin Concentration (PRC) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 8 ]Biomarkers related to hypertension-related pathophysiology were evaluated in this study, such as plasma renin concentration (PRC). Blood samples were taken at Visit 3 (baseline) and Visit 6 (week 8). The difference between baseline and week 8 was calculated.
