New hope for stubborn high blood pressure? phase 3 trial launches

NCT ID NCT07635914

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

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests aprocitentan, a drug already approved in some countries, for people with resistant hypertension—high blood pressure that stays high despite taking three or more medications. About 382 adults will receive either the drug or a placebo for 8 weeks. The main goal is to see if aprocitentan can safely lower sitting systolic blood pressure more than placebo.
