NCT ID NCT06205628

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage study tests a new drug called ADX-850 in 28 people with mild to moderate high blood pressure. The drug uses siRNA technology to target genes involved in blood pressure regulation. The main goal is to check safety and how the drug moves through the body, with a secondary look at its effect on blood pressure.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

ADX-850 (siRNA drug)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for high blood pressure that may require less frequent dosing.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 1 study with only 28 participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. The drug may not lower blood pressure enough or could cause unexpected side effects.
