Summary

This phase 3 trial tests whether adding Sacubitril/Allisartan to amlodipine can lower blood pressure more effectively than amlodipine alone in people with essential hypertension. Participants are adults aged 18–75 whose blood pressure remains high despite taking amlodipine. The study compares the combination against amlodipine alone over 12 weeks, measuring changes in seated systolic blood pressure.
