NCT ID NCT06833190

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

Summary

This study tested an experimental drug called REGN5381 in 34 adults with uncontrolled hypertension (high blood pressure despite taking one or more blood pressure medications). The drug is a monoclonal antibody designed to activate NPR1 receptors, which may help lower blood pressure. The trial was a Phase 2b, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, but it was terminated early, so the full results are not available.
