To evaluate the efficacy of oral aliskiren 300 mg in reduction of mean 24 hour maDBP from baseline to end of 8 week treatment under light meal versus fasted conditions in patients with mild to moderate hypertension To evaluate the efficacy of oral aliskiren in reduction of the mean change of msSBP and msDBP To evaluate the effect of a light meal versus fasted condition on aliskiren pharmacokinetics and PRA To evaluate the proportion of patients achieving blood pressure control To assess the proportion of patients achieving a successful response in SBP reduction To evaluate the safety and tolerability of aliskiren under a light meal and fasted conditions in patients with mild to moderate hypertension |
Evaluar la eficacia de la administración por vía oral una vez al día de aliskiren 300 mg en ayunas comparado con su administración con una comida ligera en pacientes con hipertensión de leve a moderada en la reducción del cambio medio de la presión arterial en la consulta (PASms y PADms) desde la basal hasta la finalización del tratamiento de 8 semanas de duración.Evaluar el efecto de una comida ligera en comparación con la administración en ayunas en la farmacocinética y la ARP de aliskiren.Evaluar la proporción de pacientes que alcanzan un control de la presión arterial (< 140/90 mmHg en la medición de la PA en la consulta) al final del tratamiento de 8 semanas de duración con una comida ligera en comparación con su administración en ayunas.
