Could a blood pressure drug ease chest pain in people with clear arteries?

NCT ID NCT07670091

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

Summary

This study looks at whether bosentan, a drug that blocks a natural vessel-constricting substance, can improve blood flow in the tiny heart vessels of people with angina who have no major blockages. About 45 participants will get bosentan for 4 weeks and have MRI scans before and after. The goal is to understand if this approach could lead to new treatments for microvascular angina.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Bosentan (endothelin receptor antagonist)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment for angina caused by small vessel problems, not just blocked arteries.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early study (45 people) looking at blood flow changes, not symptoms. Bosentan may not improve angina or could have side effects.
