It is a multinational, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study with a 4 week treatment period in hypertensive pediatric subjects.\n\nSubjects undergo a screening evaluation, then a 1-week, single-blind, placebo run-in after which eligible subjects are allocated to receive 1 of 3 dose levels of candesartan cilexetil or placebo. The study includes 2 panels based on subject weight.\n\nThe primary efficacy analysis is based on the intent-to-treat population and tests for slope = 0 in a linear regression model with change in sitting systolic blood pressure as the dependent and non-zero dose pooled across weight panels as the independent variable. For subjects without a Double-Blind Week 4 blood pressure determination, carrying the last value forward assigns the value.\n\nAdditional analyses will include data pooled from a similar dose ranging study conducted in children 1 to \\< 6 years of age.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD'], 'maximumAge': '17 Years', 'minimumAge': '6 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False,

laboratory abnormality that, in the opinion of the investigator or sponsor, may interfere with the subject's participation in the study or would pose a significant risk to the subject or interfere with the assessment of safety and efficacy endpoints.\n* Hypertension secondary to coarctation of the aorta, pheochromocytoma, hyperthyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, or medications (eg: corticosteroids).\n* Known history of bilateral renal artery stenosis, unilateral renal artery stenosis or a renal transplant.\n* Glomerular filtration rate \\< 50 mL/min based on an estimated value

symptoms).\n* Second or third degree AV block.\n* Pregnant or breast-feeding an infant.\n* Impaired liver function defined as either acute liver disease or chronic liver disease with persistent liver enzyme values greater than 1½ times the upper limit of the reference range for AST or ALT.\n* Known hypersensitivity to ARBs.\n* Unable to be off antihypertensive medication (diuretics, beta blockers, ACE Inhibitors, etc) for 6-weeks.\n* Inability to discontinue medications which may contribute to elevated blood pressure e.g. systemic corticosteroids.\n* Currently using, or used within 14 days prior to receiving double-blind medication, any concomitant medications which in the opinion of the investigator could negatively affect the subject.\n* Unable or unwilling to comply with the study requirements including blood sampling and swallowing study drug tablets.\n* Received an investigational agent within 30 days prior to receiving study medication.\n* Alcohol or drug abuse."},
