What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Mean Sitting Diastolic Blood Pressure (msDBP)
Time Frame: Baseline, 8 weeks
Sitting BP measurements were performed at screening through the end of the study at every study visit. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Baseline, 8 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Mean Sitting Systolic Blood Pressure (msSBP)
Time Frame: Baseline, 8 weeks
Sitting BP measurements were performed at screening through the end of the study at every study visit. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Baseline, 8 weeks
Change From Baseline in 24 Hour Mean Ambulatory DBP and SBP
Time Frame: Baseline, 8 weeks
Hourly mean ambulatory DBP and SBP post-dosing was calculated for each post-dosing hour over 24 hours by taking the average of the readings taken in the corresponding post-dosing hour at randomization and at week 8. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Baseline, 8 weeks
Change From Baseline in Daytime Mean Ambulatory DBP and SBP
Time Frame: Baseline, 8 weeks
Hourly mean ambulatory DBP and SBP post-dosing was calculated for each post-dosing hour over 24 hours by taking the average of the readings taken in the corresponding post-dosing hour at randomization and at week 8. Daytime mean SBP and DBP were the averages of the hourly means between 6 am and 10 pm. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Baseline, 8 weeks
Change From Baseline in Nighttime Mean Ambulatory DBP and SBP
Time Frame: Baseline, 8 weeks
Hourly mean ambulatory DBP and SBP post-dosing was calculated for each post-dosing hour over 24 hours by taking the average of the readings taken in the corresponding post-dosing hour at randomization and at week 8. Nighttime mean SBP and DBP were the averages of the hourly means between 10 pm and 6 am. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Baseline, 8 weeks
Change From Baseline in Mean Sitting Pulse Pressure
Time Frame: Baseline, 8 weeks
Mean sitting pulse pressure is the difference in msSBP and msDBP (msSBP - msDBP). A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Baseline, 8 weeks
Change From Baseline in Mean Ambulatory Pulse Pressure
Time Frame: Baseline, 8 weeks
Mean ambulatory pulse pressure is the difference in maSBP and maDBP (maSBP - maDBP). A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Baseline, 8 weeks
Number of Participants Who Achieved a Successful Response in msDBP
Time Frame: 8 weeks
Successful response in msDBP is defined as msDBP <90 mmHg or a reduction ≥ 10 mmHg from baseline.
8 weeks
Number of Participants Who Achieved a Successful Response in msSBP
Time Frame: 8 weeks
Successful response in msSBP is defined as msSBP <140 mmHg or a reduction ≥ 20 mmHg from baseline.
8 weeks
Number of Participants Who Achieved Successful BP Control
Time Frame: 8 weeks
BP control is defined as BP < 140/90 mmHg.
8 weeks
Trough to Post-dosing Hour Ratio for Change From Baseline in 24-hour Mean Ambulatory DBP
Time Frame: baseline, 8 weeks
Trough to post-dosing hour ratio at each post-dosing hour = [trough LSM of LCZ696 - trough LSM of placebo]/[post-dosing hour LSM of LCZ696 - post-dosing hour LSM of placebo]
baseline, 8 weeks
Trough to Post-dosing Hour Ratio for Change From Baseline in 24-hour Mean Ambulatory SBP
Time Frame: baseline, 8 weeks
Trough to post-dosing hour ratio at each post-dosing hour = [trough LSM of LCZ696 - trough LSM of placebo]/[post-dosing hour LSM of LCZ696 - post-dosing hour LSM of placebo]
baseline, 8 weeks
Change From Week 8 to Week 9 in msDBP and msSBP After Single-blind Placebo Withdrawal at Week 8
Time Frame: 8 weeks, 9 weeks
From week 8 to week 9, participants entered a single-blind placebo withdrawal period to assess the effect of LCZ696 on blood pressure following its discontinuation. Participants, who were randomized to the LCZ696 treatment groups, were discontinued from CLCZ696 at the end of week 8 and all 4 treatment groups received single-blind placebo for 1 week post week 8. A positive change from week 8 to week 9 indicates worsening.
