The difference in mean SeSBP/SeDBP between the visit prior to randomisation and the randomisation visit must be ≤ 20/10 mmHg. Subjects not currently on antihypertensive (HTN) medication may meet this requirement at the screening visit (Visit 1) and the randomization visit (Visit 3). Subjects washing out of HTN medication must meet this requirement at least by Visit 2 (or Visit 2.1, if needed) and Visit 3. All subjects undergoing washout of their prior antihypertensive medication will have the opportunity to re-visit the study sites for additional visits during washout (Visits 2 and 2.1) to assess eligibility for randomisation.
