E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the blood pressure (BP) lowering effect of aprocitentan when added to background antihypertensive therapy in subjects with uncontrolled BP and chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3 or 4 after 4 weeks of double-blind (DB) treatment. |
El objetivo principal del estudio es demostrar el efecto de reducción de la presión arterial (PA) de aprocitentán cuando se añade a un tratamiento antihipertensivo de base en sujetos con PA no controlada y enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) en estadio3 o 4 después de 4 semanas de tratamiento a doble ciego (DC). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives are to evaluate: - the effect of aprocitentan on urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) after 4 weeks of DB treatment in a subset of study population; i.e., in subjects with a UACR greater than 30 mg/g at baseline; - the safety and tolerability of aprocitentan in this study population during 12 weeks of the randomized treatment period. |
Los objetivos secundarios son evaluar:
- El efecto de aprocitentán en el cociente de microalbúmina y creatinina (UACR) después de 4 semanas de tratamiento a DC en un subconjunto de población del estudio; es decir, en sujetos con un UACR > 30 mg/g en el momento basal; - La seguridad y tolerabilidad de aprocitentán en esta población del estudio durante las 12 semanas del periodo de tratamiento aleatorizado. |
