Drug maker tests if blood pressure pill affects Body's stress response

NCT ID NCT06336356

Summary

This study tested whether an experimental drug called baxdrostat affects the body's ability to produce cortisol, a key stress hormone, in people whose high blood pressure isn't well controlled by current medications. Forty-eight participants took either baxdrostat or a placebo pill for eight weeks. Researchers measured cortisol levels before and after a standard hormone stimulation test to check if the drug interfered with the body's natural stress response system.
