Tiny study checks blood pressure drug in kids
NCT ID NCT05107960
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how safe and effective the blood pressure drug azilsartan is for children aged 6 to 16 with high blood pressure. Only 5 children took part, and doctors monitored them for side effects and blood pressure changes for up to 12 months. The goal was to gather real-world safety data, not to compare with other treatments.
