E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
• To determine the efficacy of daily oral DP13 treatment (all dose arms combined) to decrease the plasma aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR) from baseline in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) • To determine the efficacy of daily oral DP13 treatment (all dose arms combined) to reduce 24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure (aSBP) from baseline in patients with PA |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To determine the safety and tolerability of DP13 treatment in patients with PA • To determine the efficacy of daily oral DP13 treatment (all dose arms combined) to reduce office systolic blood pressure (oSBP) from baseline in patients with PA • To determine the efficacy of daily oral DP13 treatment to decrease the plasma ARR from baseline in each individual dose arm • To determine the efficacy of daily oral DP13 treatment to reduce 24-hour aSBP from baseline in each individual dose arm • To determine the efficacy of daily oral DP13 treatment to reduce oSBP from baseline in each individual dose arm • To determine the dose-dependent efficacy of daily oral DP13 treatment to decrease the ARR from baseline in patients with PA • To determine the dose-dependent efficacy of daily oral DP13 treatment to reduce 24- hour aSBP from baseline in patients with PA • To determine the dose-dependent efficacy of daily oral DP13 treatment to reduce oSBP from baseline in patients with PA |
