New pill could tame Hormone-Driven high blood pressure
NCT ID NCT07007793
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new drug called baxdrostat in about 250 adults with primary aldosteronism, a condition where the adrenal glands make too much aldosterone, causing high blood pressure. Participants take baxdrostat or a placebo daily for 8 weeks to see if it lowers blood pressure and restores normal hormone levels. The goal is to find a better treatment option for this specific form of high blood pressure.
