Groups and cohorts

  • Eplerenone

    Subjects who are treated with Eplerenone tablet for hypertension disease

    Drug: Selara

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment Related Adverse Events.

    Adverse events mean all unfavorable events that occur in participants after administration of Selara, irrespective of causal relationship to Selara (including clinically problematic abnormal changes in laboratory test values). Treatment Related Adverse Events were evaluated in company with the causal relationship to Selara.

    Time frame: 12 weeks

  2. Number of Participants With Serious Treatment Related Adverse Events.

    Serious treatment related adverse events mean those that may lead to death, life-threatening, hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization, a permanent or remarkable disorder/dysfunction, congenital anomaly/congenital deficiency, or other medically significant events or disorder.

    Time frame: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Systolic Blood Pressure Over Time.

    The primary analysis item was the mean systolic blood pressure at 4, 8, and 12 weeks of the observation period or at last evaluation date if Selara was terminated prematurely.

    Time frame: 12 weeks

  2. Change in Diastolic Blood Pressure Over Time.

    The primary analysis item was the mean diastolic blood pressure at 4, 8, and 12 weeks of the observation period or at last evaluation date if Selara was terminated prematurely.

    Time frame: 12 weeks

  3. Number of Participants That Responded to Selara Treatment.

    Number of participants among the efficacy analysis population that responded to Selara treatment.

    Time frame: 12 weeks
