Can new pills tame high blood pressure?
NCT ID NCT06291207
First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This clinical trial is testing whether two experimental oral medications, AD-224A and AD-224B, can safely lower blood pressure in people with essential hypertension (high blood pressure with no known cause). About 254 participants will take one of the drugs or a placebo once daily for 8 weeks. The main goal is to see how much the drugs reduce sitting systolic blood pressure compared to placebo.
