E. General Information on the Trial
E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation
E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
Hypertension
MedDRA Classification
E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
E.2 Objective of the trial
E.2.1Main objective of the trial
• Determine whether aliskiren reduces the levels of NT-proBNP from baseline to
week 8 as compared to placebo.
• Determine whether valsartan reduces the levels of NT-proBNP from baseline to
week 8 as compared to placebo.
• Determine whether the combination of aliskiren and valsartan reduces the levels
of NT-proBNP from baseline to week 8 as compared to each individual
monotherapy and placebo.
E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
For Full list, refer to protocol

• Determine whether monotherapy with aliskiren or valsartan reduces the levels of
NT-proBNP from baseline to week 4 to as compared to placebo.
• Explore whether aliskiren or valsartan reduces the rate of adverse cardiac events
(death, recurrent myocardial infarction, or hospitalization for congestive heart
failure) at week 8 as compared to placebo.
• Explore whether the combination of aliskiren or valsartan reduces the rate of
adverse cardiac events (death, recurrent myocardial infarction, or hospitalization
for congestive heart failure) at week 8 as compared to each individual
monotherapy and placebo.
E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
E.3Principal inclusion criteria
1. Subjects who are hospitalized for ischemic chest discomfort at rest lasting at
least 10 minutes and consistent with cardiac ischemia
• Subjects who are clinically stable may not have any of the following spontaneous
events for 24 hours prior to randomization:
• Recurrent ischemia at rest
• Symptomatic hypotension or hypotension defined as SBP < 90 mmHg
• Acute mitral regurgitation
• Acute ventricular septal defect

• unstable angina defined as chest discomfort with 1) transient ST segment
deviation at least 0.5 mm in at least two contiguous leads or, 2) documented
coronary artery disease as defined as prior MI or evidence of a coronary
stenosis at least 50% or
• acute myocardial infarction (MI) defined as elevated concentrations of cardiac
troponin I or T, or CK-MB
3. Elevated concentrations of natriuretic peptide (local determination) 3-10 days
(72 -240 hours) after admission for their index event
• NT-proBNP level > 400 pg/ml or BNP level > 80 pg/ml
E.4Principal exclusion criteria
For full list, refer to protocol

1. Known or suspected contraindications, including history of allergy or
hypersensitivity to ARBs, renin antagonists, or to drugs with similar chemical
structures.
2. Presence of clinically overt heart failure defined as the presence of rales 1/3 up
both lung fields, chest radiography showing at least moderate pulmonary
venous congestion, or the presence of a third heart sound.
3. Known evidence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (an ejection fraction <=
40% as determined by echocardiography, nuclear imaging or ventriculography).
4. CABG less than 3 months before randomization.
5. PCI less than 24 hours before randomization.
6. Planned revascularization within 3 months after randomization.
7. New ACEI, ARBs, or aldosterone inhibitor treatment given for more than 24 hours
as part of the index hospitalization.
8. An increase in a chronic dose of ACEI, ARBs, or aldosterone inhibitor treatment
given for more than 24 hours as part of the index hospitalization.
9. Patients on chronic ACEI or ARB therapy for whom therapy with an ACEI or ARB is
clinically required with no reasonable alternative therapy available
10. Estimated creatinine clearance < 45 ml/min (MDRD Calculation).
E.5 End points
E.5.1Primary end point(s)
The primary variable will be the relative reduction to baseline in NT-proBNP, expressed as a (logarithmised) ratio of at week 8 divided by baseline levels. The NT-proBNP values at Visit 2 from the central laboratory will be used as baseline values
