Brief Summary

Randomized, placebo-controlled double-blind, crossover design study; 116 subjects randomized on Day 1 to obtain 98 completed subjects. Study will be composed of a 7-day period of therapy with randomized active or placebo treatment with a subsequent 6-8 day washout period, followed by a second 7-day period of double-blind therapy with the other agent. Ambulatory blood pressure measurement will be performed beginning on Day 7 of each treatment period following administration of the study drug.

Conditions

Blood Pressure; Human Experimentation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Average Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) Readings for a 5-hour Range Around the Time of Maximum Concentration (Tmax).

  Five hour (hr) range around the Tmax was defined as approximately 2 hours before to approximately 2 hours after the Tmax, including Tmax. The parameters will be compared between active drug and placebo using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The 95% 2-sided Confidence Interval (CI) on the difference between treatments will also be presented.

  24 hours after final dose of each 7-day treatment period.
