What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cumulative Sodium Excretion (Natriuresis) at Day 1
Time Frame: 0-6 and 0-24 hours on Day 1
Urine will be collected in fractions of 6 to 24 hours post-dose. From each fraction, a sample will be drawn for analysis of sodium Day 1
0-6 and 0-24 hours on Day 1

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cumulative Sodium Excretion (Natriuresis) at Day 28
Time Frame: 0-6 and 0-24 hours on Day 28
Urine will be collected in fractions of 6 to 24 hours post-dose. From each fraction, a sample will be drawn for analysis of sodium Day 28
0-6 and 0-24 hours on Day 28
Urine Volume (Diuresis) Over Time
Time Frame: Day -1, Day 1 & Day 28
Urine will be collected and volume measured in fractions of 0 to 6 hours and 0 to 24 hours Day-1, Day 1 and Day 28
Day -1, Day 1 & Day 28
Seated Office Blood Pressure (BP) (Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP)) Over Time
Time Frame: Day-1, Day 14 and Day 28
Seated Office BP (systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP))measurements will be performed at trough(immediately prior to dosing at the clinic). Arterial BP readings will be made with an automated BP device.
Day-1, Day 14 and Day 28
Mean Sitting Pulse Pressure (PP) Over Time
Time Frame: Day-1, Day 14 and Day 28
Sitting mean pulse pressure rate was calculated between ambulatory SBP and DBP measurements
Day-1, Day 14 and Day 28
