|
MedDRA Classification |
E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
to test the hypothesis that LY518674, administered for 6 weeks to patients with mild essential hypertension, reduces 24-hour mean ambulatory SBP, compared with placebo. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
•Determine the duration and consistency of the reduction in BP over the course of a day, relative to placebo, after 6 weeks of treatment with LY518674 when taken once daily •Evaluate the population dose- and exposure-response relationships of LY518674 for lowering the mean SBP and DBP during the 24 -hour and 8-hour awake period •Compare the effect of LY518674 on CBPM SBP and DBP with that of placebo. •Determine the percentage of responders to LY518674 •Evaluate the effects of LY518674, relative to placebo, on plasma levels of total TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, TG and hsCRP •Evaluate the safety and tolerability effects of LY518674 ---Additional Objective • Blood pressure and safety evaluations associated with the primary and secondary objectives ---Specific to Sample Banking -associating naturally occurring differences in the serum or plasma or DNA with risk for diseases -identifying genetic or protein biomarkers related to the therapeutic response to LY518674 or other compounds |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
[1] Are men and women ≥18 and ≤70 years of age. [2] Have given signed informed consent to participate in this study. [3] Are diagnosed with mild essential hypertension at screening (currently untreated or treated with monotherapy) • CBPM range for untreated patients is SBP 140 to 159 mm Hg and/or DBP 90 to 99 mm Hg. • CBPM range for patients on antihypertensive monotherapy is SBP 130 to 150 mm Hg and/or DBP 85 to 95 mm Hg. [4] Have two mean CBPM (calculated using the last two of three readings) (SBP 140 to 159 mm Hg and/or DBP 90 to 99 mm Hg) during Study Period 2 (use mean CBPM readings from either of the following: Visit 2 and Visit 4 OR Visit 3 and Visit 4). |
